Answer

$d\lt -8 $ or $d\gt -\frac{1}{2}$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 2d+7\lt -9$ or $4d-1 \gt -3$ Solve the first inequality. $\Rightarrow 2d+7\lt -9$ Subtract $7$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 2d+7-7\lt -9-7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2d\lt -16$ Divide each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2d}{2}\lt \frac{-16}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow d\lt -8$ Solve the second inequality. $\Rightarrow 4d-1 \gt -3$ Add $1$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 4d-1+1 \gt -3+1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 4d\gt -2$ Divide each side by $4$. $\Rightarrow \frac{4d}{4}\gt \frac{-2}{4}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow d\gt -\frac{1}{2}$ Hence, the solution is $d\lt -8 $ or $d\gt -\frac{1}{2}$.
