-16x<-64
x>-64/-16 dividing by a negative value changes the sign.

Multiply both sides of the inequality by remembering to reverse the sense of the inequality because you multiplied by a negative number.

Graph: Construct a number line. Put a small circle on the 4. Draw a heavy line from the little circle toward the right putting a big arrowhead on the end to indicate that the heavy line goes on forever.

The red dot needs to be an open circle and the heavy arrow (not shown) must start at the open circle and go to the right.
