Answer

$(-\infty,-\frac{2}{5}]$.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $8x-11\leq 3x-13$ Add $11-3x$ to both sides. $8x-11+11-3x\leq 3x-13+11-3x$ Simplify. $5x\leq -2$ Divide both sides by $5$. $\frac{5x}{5}\leq -\frac{2}{5}$ Simplify. $x\leq -\frac{2}{5}$ Hence, the solution set is $(-\infty,-\frac{2}{5}]$. The representation on a number line is shown below.
