X - 16 < 11. If you guys can, please graph it on a number line as well.

Add 16 to both sides to undo the -16

We go from x - 16 < 11 to x < 27

The graph involves an open hole at 27, shading to the left

This is to visually describe any number smaller than 27. The value 27 itself is not part of the solution set, which is why we use an open hole.
