Given a triangle with sides of 7, 9 and x, which of the following describes the range of values for the third side of the triangle?

Here's how you find the third side.
Take your two numbers, 8 and 13. Add them: 8+13=21. Then subtract them: 13-8=5. The third side must be between 5 and 21 but not including those numbers.

Same thing for the next one.
