Answer:
x < 4 or 6 < x
Explanation:
You want the compound inequality that describes the number line graph with open circles at 4 and 6, and shading everywhere except between them.
Inequalities
The left line segment has all values less than 4 shaded. The corresponding inequality is ...
x < 4
The right line segment has all values greater than 6 shaded. The corresponding inequality is ...
x > 6
These do no overlap, so the compound inequality uses "or" to combine them:
x < 4 or x > 6

Additional comment
Sometimes it is helpful to have the relationship between the shading and the limit values a little more obvious in the inequality. That will be the case if you always use left-pointing inequality symbols: < or ≤. By writing the compound inequality as ...
x < 4 or 6 < x
we see that shading is outside (left or right of) the interval [4, 6].
The symbol without the "or equal to" bar is used when the circle is an open circle. A filled dot would signify the limit value is part of the interval of interest, and the ≤ (or ≥) symbol would be used.
