Complete the inequality so that it represents the whole-number values that side a could be to create a triangle.

a=?
b=6
c=7

In order for side lengths a, b, and c to form a triangle, any two sides must have a combined length greater than the third side.

For this specific case, we are given b = 6 and c = 7. Therefore, the inequality for side a should be:

a + 6 > 7
