Answer:

After solving the inequality, we get:


x\leq -10

With the plotted inequality given.

Explanation:

Step 1: Manipulate and solve the inequality

The inequality is given as:


(1)/(2)x+8\leq 3

Make
x the subject of the inequality to solve it:


(1)/(2)x+8\leq 3\\\\\text{Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:}\\(1)/(2)x+8-8\leq 3-8\\\\\text{Simplify:}\\(1)/(2)x\leq -5\\\\\text{Multiply by 2 on both sides of the inequality:}\\2* (1)/(2)x\leq -5* 2\\\\\text{Simplify:}\\x\leq-10

Step 2: Plot the inequality

After solving the inequality, we get:


x\leq -10

Which means that
x consists of all values that are equal to and less than
-10.

On a number line, when the inequality includes the value, it is denoted by a closed circle.

With all this information, let's plot the number line:
