$x > - 21$

We have: $- x + 38 < 59$

First, let's subtract $38$ from both sides of the inequality:

$=> - x < 21$

Then, let's subtract $21$ from both sides:

$=> - x - 21 < 0$

Finally, let's add $x$ to both sides:

$=> - 21 < x$

$=> x > - 21$

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is $x > - 21$ .
