d)	11

Plug in the value of x each time. Start from 9 then go to 11. It's a process of trial and error. Plugging in the values of x will give you a new number, then plug in the same value to x+1, and see if it is the median. If not, try a different value of x

since x + 1 is the median 
2x -5 < x +1

and 3x+ 8 > x + 1

solving these will help narrow it down
