Answer

$$\color{blue}{(-5,3)}$$

Work Step by Step

Subtract $5$ to each part: \begin{array}{ccccc} &-5-5 &\lt &5+2x-5 &\lt &11-5 \\&-10 &\lt &2x &\lt &6 \end{array} Divide each part by $2$: \begin{array}{ccccc} \\&\frac{-10}{2} &\lt &\frac{2x}{2} &\lt &\frac{6}{2} \\&-5 &\lt &x &\lt &3 \end{array} Thus, the solution to the given inequality is ${-5 \lt x \lt3}$ Which in interval notation is: $\color{blue}{(-5,3)}$
