Answer:

100<x<500

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side cannot exceed the others added up so x is less than 500, due to the laws of triangles.

If you subtract 300-200, you get 100, so x has to be greater than 100.

x is greater than 100 but less than 500

Therefore the answer is...

100<X<500

The laws of triangles state that a triangle has to be greater than the other two edges subtracted, and less than the other two edges added.

I hope this helps!!!
