I'm assuming you're asking if x = -3 is a solution to the inequality of 5-x < 8
Let's find out. We'll replace every x with -3 and simplify
5 - x < 8
5 - ( x ) < 8
5 - ( -3 ) < 8 .... replaced x with -3
5 + 3 < 8
8 < 8
The last inequality is false, so the original inequality is false when x = -3
Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution to the inequality
