Answer:

15/7 < x < 13

Explanation:

The triangle inequality requires that side lengths a, b, c satisfy ...

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

These can let us write three inequalities for the side lengths given:

6x -11 +3x -1 > 2x +3 ⇒ 7x > 15

6x -11 +2x +3 > 3x -1 ⇒ 5x > 7

3x -1 +2x +3 > 6x -11 ⇒ x < 13

The first two resolve to ...

x > 15/7 ≈ 2.143

x > 7/5 = 1.4

So, the final requirement is that ...

15/7 < x < 13
