Solution

The compound is $$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{C(CH}_3)\text{CH(Br)CH}_3$$. The longest chain containing the double bond has 5 carbons, and numbering from the end nearer the double bond gives it the locant 2. The methyl group is then on C-3 and bromine on C-4, so the name is 4-Bromo-3-methylpent-2-ene.
