2 + z - 5z =  2 - 4z

2 - z + 8z =  2 +7z

 

2-4z < -7       2 - 4z > 13          2 + 7z < -7          2 + 7z > 13

9 < 4z            -11 > 4z              7z < -9                7z > 11

z > 9/4           z < -11/4               z < -9/7               z > 11/7

 

 

The most restricitve  intervals are

 

(-inf , -11/4) U (9/4 , inf)
