Maybe easiest to add 4 to both sides and then multiply both sides by x. .

32/x+4>0

If x>=0 then 32+4x>0
8+x>0
x>-8

If x<0 then 32+4x<0
8+x<0
x<-8

Answer would seem to be the real number line but EXCLUDING 0 and EXCLUDING -8.

find the solution of 32/x > -4 and then how do you graph that solution?
----
Divide both sides by -4 to get -8/x < 1
----
Solution:
x < -8
x > 0
