Answer

$$-5 \lt x \le 6$$ Refer to the graph below.

Work Step by Step

Solve each inequality: \begin{align*} 7x &\gt -35\\\\ \frac{7x}{7} &\gt \frac{-35}{7}\\\\ x &\gt -5 \end{align*} $$\text{and}$$ \begin{align*} 5x&\le 30\\\\ \frac{5x}{5} &\le \frac{30}{5}\\\\ x&\le 6 \end{align*} Graph each inequality to obtain the one in the attached image below. Since the compound inequality involves the conjunction $\text{AND}$, then the solutions to the inequality are numbers common to both graphs, which are the numbers in the interval $-5 \lt x \le 6$.
