This is an inequality.

This is what the statement should look like:
57 > x - 8

Now, you can actually "properly" reverse these meaning the equality sign changes too. So basically you can mirror them.

The "mirrored" inequality expression would look like this:
x - 8 < 57

Now just like normal algebra, you can transpose these terms from 1 side to another and so, -8 would transpose to the right hand side and the operation would be the inverse or in this case, addition. The expression would look something like this:
x < 57 + 8

Add them up and you get:
x < 65 :D
