3<a<5

The inequality \(3 < a < 5\) indicates that the variable \(a\) must be greater than 3 and less than 5.

This means:

• The minimum value of \(a\) is just greater than 3 (but not equal to 3).
• The maximum value of \(a\) is just less than 5 (but not equal to 5).

In interval notation, this can be expressed as \(a \in (3, 5)\). You can choose any value for \(a\) within that range. For example, values like 3.1, 4, or 4.9 are valid, while values like 3 or 5 are not.
