You can put this solution on YOUR website!
16-4x > 56
-4x > 56-16
-4x > 40
x=40/-4
x > -10
On the number line a circle around -10 with an arrow to the right.
I don't know where you got -14 and -12 from, they are not part of the solution.

highlight_green%28x+%3C+-+10%29

You can do the check!!

Draw an OPEN CIRCLE on the number-line graph at - 10, along with an EXTREMELY BOLD arrow pointing to the left of - 10. This indicates that x is any value that is less than - 10.
