Answer: (x > -3).

Explanation:

To solve the inequality 4(1 - x) < 16, we will simplify and solve for x:

4(1 - x) < 16

Distribute the 4:

4 - 4x < 16

Subtract 4 from both sides:

-4x < 12

Divide both sides by -4. Note that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips:

x > -3

The solution to the inequality is x > -3. This means that x must be greater than -3 for the inequality to hold true.

To graph the solution on a number line, we mark a shaded region to the right of -3, indicating that all values greater than -3 satisfy the inequality:

The open circle at -3 indicates that -3 is not included in the solution since the inequality is strict (x > -3).

here's the graph for 4(1-x)<16
