1-3x-3<8-x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x+1.
-2-3x<8-x
Subtract 3 from 1 to get -2.
-2-3x+x<8
Add x to both sides.
-2-2x<8
Combine -3x and x to get -2x.
-2x<8+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-2x<10
Add 8 and 2 to get 10.
x>\frac{10}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>-5
Divide 10 by -2 to get -5.
