I have to fix this one
If \(x+5>8\),
\(x-2>1\), \(x<17\) and \(2x-7<5\), what is the range of possible values for x?
solving each inequality individually, we obtain \(x>3\), \(x>3\), \(x<17\) and \(x<6\). Hence the range of possible values for x is \(3<x<6\).
Morale of this question is "
with any inequality, we should solve for upper and lower limit constraints"
As for \(x>13\), if \(x>3\) the two do not contradict each other

Not a good question in my humble opinion
we do know from the stem that x>3
x>13
x<17
but also x<6
