It depends on the specific inequality. In the simplest cases, it is solved just like an equation; except that you must be careful when multiplying and dividing - if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must switch the inequality sign. For instance, a "less-than" sign would be changed to a "greater-than" sign.
Solve the inequality and enter your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to the solution. -33+x<-33
isolate the variable
No, you can only simplify an expression. To solve for a variable, it must be in an equation.

When you have a negative variable in an equation that you are trying to solve for, you multiply each side of the equation by -1. If it is an inequality such as <, you would flip the sign to > and vice versa.

Algebraic Inequality
algebraic inequality, is an inequality that contains at least one variable.
You normally "solve" something when there is a variable involved. In this case there is no variable. All you have to do is decide whether it is true or false. If this is derived from an original equation (or, in this case, inequality) which involved variables, then if the equation (or inequality) without variables is true, it means it is true for ANY value of the variable. If it is false, the original equation (or inequality) can't be satisfied by any value of the variable.
An expression cannot be solved; an equation or an inequality may be.
There is no equation (nor inequality) in the question. There is also no unknown variable. So there is nothing to solve.
In the case of an inequality, if you mulitply by a negative number, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality. E.g.: -x < 10 becomes: x > -10 (Here, I multiplied by -1, and simultaneously reversed the direction of the inequality.)
When you have a negative variable in an equation that you are trying to solve for, you multiply each side of the equation by -1. If it is an inequality such as <, you would flip the sign to > and vice versa.
