Answer:

2 < x < 15

Explanation:

The triangle inequality requires all of ...

(x +11) +(2x +10) > (5x -9) ⇒ 30 > 2x

(2x +10) +(5x -9) > (x +11) ⇒ 6x > 10

(5x -9) +(x +11) > (2x +10) ⇒ 4x > 8

The solutions to these are ...

x < 15

x > 5/3

x > 2

So, the final requirement that has x satisfying all of these is ...

2 < x < 15
