#x > -7#

Explanation:

First considering #x ne -5#

#sqrt(x^2+x-6) +3x+13 > x+5# or

#sqrt(x^2+x-6) > -(2x+8)# or

#-sqrt(x^2+x-6) < 2x+8#

now squaring both sides

#x^2+x-6 < (2x+8)^2# or

#3x^2+31x+70 > 0# and then

#{x > -7} uu {x < -10/3}#

but after checking, the feasible solution is

#x > - 7#

NOTE

The squaring operation introduces extraneous additional solutions.

Assumption: this is #((sqrt(x^2+x-6))+(3x+13))/((x+5))>1#

Note that this solution set #color(red)(" EXCLUDES "x=-5#

#-7.59 < x <3.07# as an approximate answer

#color(white)("d")-(32+2sqrt(46))/6 < x < + (-32+2sqrt(46))/6# as an exact answer

Explanation:

I am using brackets to group 'things' at the moment.

Multiply both sides by #(x+5)# giving

#color(green)(((sqrt(x^2+x-6))+(3x+13))/((x+5)) xxcolor(red)((x+5))color(white)("dd")>color(white)("dd")1color(red)(xx(x+5))#

#color(green)([(sqrt(x^2+x-6))+(3x+13)] xxcolor(red)((x+5))/((x+5))color(white)("dd")>color(white)("dd")color(red)((x+5)))#

But #(x+5)/(x+5) =1#

#color(green)([(sqrt(x^2+x-6))+(3x+13)] xxcolor(white)("dd")1color(white)("ddddd")>color(white)("dd")color(red)((x+5)))#

#color(green)((sqrt(x^2+x-6))+(3x+13) color(white)("dddddddddddd")>color(white)("dd")(x+5))#

Subtract #(3x+13)# from both sides

#color(green)(sqrt(x^2+x-6)color(white)("ddd") >color(white)("ddd") (x+5)-(3x+13))#

but #-(3x+13)# is the same as #-3x-13#

#color(green)(sqrt(x^2+x-6)color(white)("ddd") >color(white)("ddd") x+5-3x-13)#

#color(green)(sqrt(x^2+x-6)color(white)("ddd") >color(white)("ddd") -2x-8)#

Square both sides

#color(green)(x^2+x-6 > (-2x-8)^2)#

#color(green)(x^2+x-6 > +4x^2+32x+64)#

Subtract #x^2+x-6# from both sides

#color(green)(0>3x^2+32x+70)#

Using #ax^2+bx+c -> x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)#
where #a=3; b=32 and c=70# giving:

#x=(-32+-sqrt(32^2-4(3)(70)))/(2(3))#

#x=(-32+-sqrt(184))/6#

#x=(-32+-sqrt(2^2xx46))/6 = (-32+-2sqrt(46))/6#

#x~~3.07 and x~~-7.59# 2 to decimal places

But this is an inequality and these are the extremes of the domain (input #->x# values) giving:

#-7.59 < x <3.07# as an approximate answer

#color(white)("d")-(32+2sqrt(46))/6 < x < + (-32+2sqrt(46))/6# as an exact answer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking back at the original inequality

#((sqrt(x^2+x-6))+(3x+13))/((x+5))>1#

This is undefined when the denominator becomes 0. So #x=-5# is 'not allowed'
