Answer:

Explanation:

We can solve each inequality apart and then see the possible solution sets.

Consider the inequality 4x+8 < -16. If we divide by 4 on both sides, we get

x+2 < -4. If we substract 2 on both sides we get x<-6. So the solution set for this inequality is the set of real numbers that are less than -6 (lie to the left of the point -6).

Consider 4x+8>4. If we divide by 4 on both sides we get x+2>1. If we substract 2 on both sides we get x>-1. So the solution set for this inequality is the set of real numbers that are bigger than -1 (lie to the right of the point -1).

So, for us to have 4x+8<-16 or 4x+8>4 we must have that either x <-6 or x>-1. So the solution set for the set of inequalities is the union of both sets, that is


(\-infty, -6) \cup (-1,\infty)
