Question 392711: Two sides of a triangle have lengths 8 and 7. which inequalities describe the values that possible lengths for the third side? show process

all i know is that in an example in my book i had to subtract 8 and 7, then add 8 and 7, and something with an x. but I'm beyond confused.

Hi

Let x represent the length of third side

Note: Sum of the Lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater then length of the 3rd side

 8 + 7 = 15

   x < 15
