Remark
The key step is just to subtract 5 from both sides. The pointed of the inequality still points away from the variable and towards the number. As long as that remains true, the correct answer can be found.
Solution
2.7 ≤ b + 5 Subtract 5 from both sides.
2.7 - 5 ≤ b
- 2.3 ≤ b Write with the variable on the left.
b ≥ - 2.3 <<<< answer
Answer:
Yes, they are proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using this from what I found helped me answer the question, and if you compare their ratios, they are both going to show that 75% each class have texted:
Proportional: When quantities have the same relative size. In other words they have the same ratio.
All you would have to do is compare the amount of students that texted(x) to the amount of students there are total in the class(y). When you compare them in a y:x format, it will all lead up to the results showing that 75% of both groups have texted.
15. 
Add "g" on both sides

Multiply 5 on both sides to get x by itself
x = 5(a + g)
x = 5a + 5g
18. a = 3n + 1
Subtract 1 on both sides
a - 1 = 3n
Divide 3 on both sides to get n by itself
= n
21. M = T - R
Add "R" on both sides to get "T" by itself
M + R = T
24. 5p + 9c = p
Subtract "5p" on both sides
9c = p - 5p
9c = -4p
Divide 9 on both sides to get "c" by itself
c =
or c = 
27. 4y + 3x = 5
Subtract "4y" on both sides
3x = 5 - 4y
Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
x = 
x = 
Answer: -62
Step-by-step explanation:
9( a + 2b) + c
Substitute correct values for all a, b and c.
9( -3 + 2(-2) ) + 1
9( -3 - 4 ) + 1
9(-7) + 1
-63 + 1
-62.
