Answer

$\text{the interval } \left( -\infty,0 \right]\cup \left[ \dfrac{6}{5},\infty \right) $

Work Step by Step

Since $|x|\gt a$ implies $x\gt a \text{ OR } x\lt -a$, then the statement $ 8+|5x-3|\ge11 $ evaluates to \begin{array}{l} |5x-3|\ge3\\ 5x-3\ge3\\ 5x\ge6\\\\ x\ge\dfrac{6}{5} ,\\\\\text{OR}\\\\ 5x-3\le-3\\ 5x\le0\\ x\le0 .\end{array} Hence, the solution set is $ \text{the interval } \left( -\infty,0 \right]\cup \left[ \dfrac{6}{5},\infty \right) $.
