Question : How To Find the Next 7 Days - T-SQL Code

Discard the long joins written below. I added a column in the last field:

DAY(t.dueDate - getdate()) As DaysLeft

This calculates how many days left prior due date for each record. I need to show
records that have tasks due date after 7 days.

Does the code below constructed correctly?

I didn't create the tables yet, these are just hypothetical tables and fields.

My main question focuses on DAY(t.dueDate - getdate()) As DaysLeft and WHERE DaysLeft = 7;
