a line starting at -6 going to the left of this number, and with an open circle around the -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this inequality, we need to isolate "x" on one side of the inequality symbol (<):

4 x + 8 < -16

subtract 8 from both sides:

4 x < -16 - 8

4 x < - 24

now divide both sides by 4 to get rid of the 4 that appears multiplying "x":

x < - 24/4

x < - 6

To graph this inequality one needs to highlight all the real numbers of the number line to the left of the value -6, making sure that one draws an open circle around the -6 because we don't want this number to be included (notice that x < -6 implies x-values strictly smaller than -6)

Then one would draw a line starting at -6 going to the left of this number, and with an open circle around the -6.
