A triangle has sides measuring 2 inches and 7 inches. If x represents the
length in inches of the third side, which inequality gives the range of possible
values for x?
A. 2
B. 5
C. 5< x < 9
D. 2

The third side can not be bigger than the sum of the other two sides, hence the less than 9. But it also has to add to 2 to be bigger than 7, so it has to be greater than 5.
