Answer:

[tex](13)\ 1 <x < 15[/tex]

[tex](14)\ 6 <x < 18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 13:

[tex]a,b = 8,7[/tex] -- the two sides

Using triangle inequality theorem, we have:

[tex]a + b > x[/tex]

[tex]a + x > b[/tex]

[tex]x + b > a[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]a + b > x[/tex]

[tex]8 + 7 > x[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]15 > x[/tex]

[tex]a + x > b[/tex]

[tex]8 + x > 7[/tex]

Collect and evaluate like terms

[tex]x > -1[/tex]

[tex]x + b > a[/tex]

[tex]x + 7 > 8[/tex]

Collect and evaluate like terms

[tex]x > 1[/tex]

Ignore the inequality with a negative value.

So, we have:

[tex]x > 1[/tex] and [tex]15 > x[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]1< x[/tex] and [tex]x < 15[/tex]

Merge

[tex]1 <x < 15[/tex]

Question 14:

[tex]a,b = 12,6[/tex] -- the two sides

Using triangle inequality theorem, we have:

[tex]a + b > x[/tex]

[tex]a + x > b[/tex]

[tex]x + b > a[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]a + b > x[/tex]

[tex]12 + 6 > x[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]18 > x[/tex]

[tex]a + x > b[/tex]

[tex]12 + x > 6[/tex]

Collect and evaluate like terms

[tex]x > -6[/tex]

[tex]x + b > a[/tex]

[tex]x + 6 > 12[/tex]

Collect and evaluate like terms

[tex]x > 6[/tex]

Ignore the inequality with a negative value.

So, we have:

[tex]x > 6[/tex] and [tex]18 > x[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]6< x[/tex] and [tex]x < 18[/tex]

Merge

[tex]6 <x < 18[/tex]
