Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

16 < -2(x + 4)

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute -2:                          16 < -2x - 8
  2. Add 8 to both sides:             24 < -2x
  3. Divide -2 on both sides:       -12 > x
  4. Rewrite:                                 x < -12

Here we see that any number x smaller than -12 would work as a solution to the inequality.
