let take a sample inequality equation
x + 3 < 8
x = 8-3 = 5 just treat it like an equality equation
so the answer is x < 5
but one thing you must note, when you change the negative sign of x to positive
you must reverse the inequality sign
ex: - x + 3 < 8
-x = 8-3 = 5 / . - 1
x > - 5 note I reverse the inequality sign
