#x> -4#

Explanation:

Solve: #-303<9(9x+2)+3#

Expand the right-hand side using the distributive property.

#-303<81x+18+3#

Simplify.

#-303<81x+21#

Subtract #21# from both sides.

#-303-21<81x#

Simplify.

#-324<81x#

Divide both sides by #81#.

#-324/81 < x#

Simplify.

#-4 < x#

Switch sides.

#x > -4#
