#color(green)(x <= -2)# or #color(green)(x > 3)#

Explanation:

#{: (3x -5 <= -11,color(white)("XX")orcolor(white)("XX"),2x-3 > 3), (3x <= -6,,2x > 6), (x <= -2,,x > 3) :}#

Remember you can add/subtract any amount to both sides of an inequality
or multiply/divide by any amount greater than zero
without effecting the orientation of the inequality.
