-3%2Bx%3C-x%2B31 Start with the given inequality.


x%3C-x%2B31%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


x%2Bx%3C31%2B3 Add x to both sides.


2x%3C31%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C34 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2834%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x%3C17 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C17
