Hey there!

“-3 < x - 10”

SOME people treat the “<” “>” as an equal sign to make these types of problems easier to solve!

-3 = x - 10

Flip the equation around

x - 10 = -3

ADD both of your sides by 10

Like: x - 10 + 10 = -3 + 10

CANCEL out: -10 + 10 because it gives us 0

Keep: -3 + 10 because it gives us the value of x

-3 + 10 = x

Solve that above and you have your answer: x = 7 ☑️

Overall answer: x < 7

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
