Answer:


\boxed {x < -4} (Choice D)

Explanation:

You first need to solve the following inequality in order to get the actual answer and find the actual graph:


1 + 2x < -7

-Subtract
1 to both sides:


1 - 1 + 2x < -7 - 1


2x < -8

-Divide both sides by
2:


(2x)/(2) < (-8)/(2)


\boxed {x < -4}
