The graph described has open points at negative 8 and negative 2 with a solid line extending between them. This indicates that the solution set includes all values of \( x \) that are greater than negative 8 and less than negative 2, but not including negative 8 and negative 2 themselves.
Thus, the correct representation of the solution set is:
x > −8 and x < −2
So the answer is:
x>−8 and x<−2 (x greater than negative 8 and x less than negative 2)
