Explanation

Step 1

then

If a,b,c are the sides of a triangle it MUST exist these equality:

each side must be less then the sum of the others sides.

[tex]\begin{gathered} then \\ x<5+8 \\ x<13 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Also

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+5>8 \\ x>8-5 \\ x>3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

then,the answer is

[tex]3
