-8x + 2x - 16 < -5x + 7x
Combine like terms on separate signs of the inequality
-6x - 16 < 2x
Add 6x over to 2x
-16 < 8x
Divide both sides by 8
-2 < x
Switch the whole equation so x is on the left (I usually do this to make it easier to graph)
x > -2
Your circle will be open
-Pic of line graph if needed
