What is the value of x -7 if the other two sides have a value of 68 and 49?

The other two sides of what ?

My clairvoyance ball is a bit foggy this morning.

The sides of a triangle one is 68 and the other is 49 degress what is the 3rd if x is minus 7

Still not enough information.

Where does the x suddenly come from?
A side is not measured in degrees.

To find the value of x - 7, we need to apply the triangle inequality theorem. According to this theorem, the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

Given that the other two sides have a value of 68 and 49, we can set up the following inequalities:

x + 68 > 49 (using the triangle inequality theorem)
x > 49 - 68
x > -19

x - 7 > 49 (using the triangle inequality theorem)
x > 49 + 7
x > 56

So, the value of x - 7 lies between -19 and 56, making the possible values for x - 7 in the range (-19, 56).
