Answer:

D: x < 20

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 16 > -64

subtract 16 from both sides because you must isolate x.

-4x + 16 - 16 > -64 - 16

-4x > -80

Then divide -4 on both sides... I believe that when you divide a number by a negative number you must flip the sign...

-4x/ -4 < -80/ -4

        x < 20

(negative divided by a negative will result in a POSITIVE.)

Hope this helped... I truly apologize if this is wrong..
