x < -1 or x < 3
becomes x < 3.
Answer: x < 3
If it was x < -1 AND x < 3, then it would be x < -1
Note: The word "or" means it has to satisfy one or the other or both. In order for an "or" statement to be true, only ONE of the statements have to be true.
People who say the answer is x < -1 are wrong.

It means that x has a value that is less than -1, cause value of -1 is any case lower than 3.
Maybe some missing info?

If you combine the statements x < -1 and x < 3 you simply get:
x < -1
If x is less than negative one, it will also be less than 3.

Something is missing perhaps. All you have given us is x is less than a negative one and x is less than a positive three. Where's the rest of the calculation?

x < -1 or x < 3
find a solution which satisfies both,
and x<-1 is the answer.
