Answer

$$x∈(-1, -0.25)∪(0.25, +\infty)$$ Also see the image below.

Work Step by Step

$16x^3+24x^2>-9x-1$ $16x^3+24x^2$ is represented as the Blue graph on the image above. $-9x-1$ is represented as the Red graph on the image above. We have two ($A$ and $B$) intersections. We need the regions where the Red graph lies below (is less than) the Blue graph. That is from point $A$ to $+\infty$. But, note here, we have discontinuity at the point $B$, so actual solution will be in the region: $(-1, -0.25)∪(0.25, +\infty)$ excluding point $B$.
