Answer:

k<1

Explanation:

1. Add 32 to both sides

-16k-32+32>-48+32

2. Simplify

-16k>-16

3. Reverse the sign (You only reverse the sign if you are DIVIDING BY a negative.)

-16k/-16 = k

-16/-16 = 1

You're left with k < 1

Your number line graph should be an open circle at 1 going to the left.
