We can answer this by replacing the given values of x and checking if the inequality is met, like this:

x + 3 < 10

• For x = 20

20 + 3 < 10

23 < 10

23 is not less than 10, then x = 20 is not a solution to the inequality.

• For x = -10

-10 + 3 < 10

-7 < 10

-7 is less than 10, then x = -10 is a solution to the inequality.

• For x = -20

-20 + 3 < 10

-17 < 10

-17 is less than 10, then x = -20 is a solution to the inequality.

• For x = 7

x + 3 < 10

10 < 10

10 is not less than 10, then x = 7 is not a solution to the given inequality.
