you have 8 carbons in a straight chain - (octa)
double bonds on carbons 1 and 6 - (1,6-diene)
methyl (ch3) on carbon 1
ethyl (c2h5) on carbon 5
add H where needed (carbon makes 4 bonds)
(I think).
I find 1-methyl a bit strange. would you not include that in the straight chain? giving 'nona' -9 instead of 'octa' - 8?

Your compound should be renamed:

4-ethyl-nona-2,7-diene
