Answer

$a\lt-7 $ or $a\gt 15$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 5a\lt -35$ or $a-14 \gt 1$ Solve the first inequality. $\Rightarrow 5a\lt -35$ Divide each side by $5$. $\Rightarrow \frac{5a}{5}\lt \frac{-35}{5}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow a\lt -7$ Solve the second inequality. $\Rightarrow a-14 \gt 1$ Add $14$ to each side. $\Rightarrow a-14 +14\gt 1+14$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow a\gt 15$ Hence, the solution is $a\lt-7 $ or $a\gt 15$.
