Answer:

x<494.7 and x>505.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The candy bag is advertised to be of 500 grams and it should weigh within 5.3 grams in order to be accepted. Thus, the bags which can be rejected would be if the weigh is less than (500-5.3) grams that is 494.7 or the weigh is greater than (500+5.3) grams that is 505.3. Therefore, if x is the range of the rejected bags then,  then the range will be between 505.3<x<494.7.
