I believe it’s 3.5 but I could totally be wrong I’m not much help at all
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
The function represents exponential growth (since the exponent is positive).
The percentage increase is, if I'm not mistaken, 181.3% (since 710 is just a constant, we don't need to worry about that - it won't affect the growth rate of the function)
