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

<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
A composite figure is formed by two or more basic figures or shapes. In this problem, we have a composite figure formed by a cylinder and a hemisphere as shown in the figure below, so the volume of this shape as a whole is the sum of the volume of the cylinder and the hemisphere:

So:

From the figure the radius of the hemisphere is the same radius of the cylinder and equals:

And the height of the cylinder is:

So:

The volume of a hemisphere is half the volume of a sphere, hence:

Finally, the volume of the composite figure is:
