Answer

Solution in interval notation: $(3,5)$ See graph below.

Work Step by Step

We are asked to solve the inequality: $6\lt x + 3 \lt 8$ To obtain the solution, we need to isolate $x$. We subtract $3$ from all sides: $6-3\lt x + 3 -3 \lt 8-3$ $3\lt x \lt 5$ In interval notation, this can be written as: $(3,5)$ See the graph of the inequality below.
