Are we finding x? Or are we solving the equation with x
To form a triangle the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side.
5, 5, 3 forms a triangle (isosceles)
8, 8, 8 forms a triangle (equilateral)
5, 6, 10 forms a triangle (obtuse angled scalene)
7, 8, 15 technically forms a triangle with an area of zero units. The vertices would be co-linear.
This will often be ignored as it has little practical use.
Fun fact. If you break a stick into 3 random lengths there is only a 25% chance they will be able to form a triangle.

Answer:
2 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
purple : red = (2/3) : (1/3) = 2 : 1
The ratio of purple paint to red paint is 2 : 1.
No it is a straight line they are not collinear
1/4 is the shortest all you have to do is multiply 2/5 by 4, 3/10 by 2, and 1/4 by 5
