#x>3#

Explanation:

We have #sqrt(2x+10)<3x-5#

We know #sqrt(2x+10) # is real for #sqrt(2x+10)>=0#

#sqrt(2x+10)>=0#

Square both sides.

#2x+10>=0#

Subtract #10# from both sides.

#2x+10color(red)(-10)>=0color (red)(-10)#

#2x>=-10#

Divide by #2# on both sides

#2x/color(red)2>=-10/color(red)2#

#color(green)1.# #x>=-5#

We now have our first condition.

Now similarly solve #3x-5>0#

We will get #x>5/3# which is #x>1.6#

#color(green)2.##x>5/3#

This is our second condition.

Now we have the inequality #sqrt(2x+10)<3x-5#

Square both sides.

#2x+10<(3x-5)^2#

Use #(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab# on the LHS.

#2x+10<9x^2+25- 2*3x*5#

#2x+10<9x^2-30x+25#

Now subtract #(2x+10)# from both sides.

#2x+10color(red)(-(2x+10))<9x^2-30x+25color(red)(-(2x+10))#

#0<9x^2-32x+15#

#9x^2-32x+15>0#

Factorize #9x^2-32x+15# and we will get #(x-3)(x-5/9)#

Therefore,

#(x-3)(x-5/9)>0#

So, #(x-3)>0# and #(x-5/9)>0#

#(x>3)# and #(x>5/9)#

Remember we made two conditions during the start, we'll apply them here.

So we had #(x>=-5)# and #(x>5/3)# as the two conditions.

When we apply the two conditions to #x>3# and #x>5/9# we see that #x>5/9# is not valid.

Therefore #x>3#
