Answer:

0<x<5

Explanation:

I assume based on the question that you are in a geometry class, so you should understand this. Based on the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of two sides of a triangle are greater than the third side. Using this, we can say that x+3+3 should be greater than 5. since 3+3 is already six regardless of what x is, we know that as long as x is greater than 0 it meets this requirement. Also, if 5 and 3 are added they should be greater. 5+3=8, so x must be less than 5 for the 5 and 3 sides to be greater.
