Hey there!
The greater than or less than simply means not equal to, similarly on what Kyle said. Here's an example on why.
Let a>b and a
Here's the answer.
5x+3≠-22 --> Write the problem.
5x≠-25 --> Subtract 3 on both sides of the equation.
x≠-5 --> Divide 5 on both sides of the equation.
So the answer is x≠-5.
Hope it helps!

this can be interpreted in two different ways:
1) algerbraically which would be:
5x + 3 = 5 times x + 3 therefore equalls the same
OR
2) 5 x +3 which is 5x3 which = 15, so if this is the case the answer would be GREATER THAN -22.
I think! lol

5x+3(is greater than )-22
5x + 3 > - 22
5x > - 25
x > - 5
5x+3(is less than )-22
5x + 3 < - 22
5x < -25
x < -5
answer:
x (is less greater than or les than) -5

5x + 3 > - 22
5x > - 25
x > - 5
5x + 3 < - 22
5x < - 25
x < - 5
If 5x + 3 ≥ - 22
5x ≥- 25
x ≥ - 5
