Answer:x < 1 and x > -4 (more down below)Step-by-step explanation:First we have to solve the algebra |-2x - 3| + 2 < 7|-2x - 3| < 51. -2x - 3 < -5                    2.  -2x -3 < 5-2x < -2                           -2x < 8                        x < 1                                x > -4 (switch the expression)Now... The two answers are x < 1 and x > -4 The interval notation is a number line with circles on the two points (answers)Sorry I can't exactly explain what that is you might have to search it up, but you need a number line like this, and you need to draw another line above the -5 and 1 with an open circle on -5 and 1     O-----------------------O<---5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2--> For graphing, make a graph with 5 points on each side with 4 quadrants or whatever reasonable size, and draw a vertical line that extends all the way above and below your graph above 1 on line x and a vertical line all the way above and below your graph above above -5 on x, then shade everything in between those two lines.This helps you to know what value you plug in for X makes the inequality true (shaded region)
