Answer: Choice B

Work Shown:

2x+4 > 16

2x > 16-4

2x > 12

x > 12/2

x > 6

which points us to choice B as the final answer.

The inequality sign stays the same. It only would flip if we multiplied or divided both sides by a negative number.

The graph would involve an open circle at 6 on the number line. Then shade to the right of this open circle.
