#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#.
