Answer:

-2 < x < 35

Explanation:

We have that the larger side has a larger opposite angle and the smaller sides and a smaller opposite angle.

The opposite angle of the 14 unit side is 37 °.

The opposite angle of the 13-unit side is (x + 2) °.

Since 13 <14, it would be:

x + 2 <37

we subtract 2 on both sides

x <35

The value of x must be less than 35.

Now, to form a triangle, the angle must be greater than 0.

x + 2> 0

we subtract 2 on both sides

x> -2

The value of x must be greater than - 2.

Therefore the answer would be:

-2 <x <35
