Given the numerical inequality:

-3 < x - 2

Determine the value of x.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of x, we simply need to transpose -2 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number the sign changes.

-3 < x - 2

-3 + 2 < x

-1 < x

Final answer:

-1 < x
