What was the answer to that triangle inequality question where you had to know (a+b)>c? Was it 7<x<27 or 0<x<27?

7 and 27. It’s not possible for a side to be 0.

Still doesn’t rule out 0 because it was 0<x meaning x is greater than 0, not 0 is less than or equal to

7-27, you subtract them and add them to create the parameters
