Answer:
The relation represents a growth when b>1 and a decay when 0<b<1
Step-by-step explanation:
Any function in the form 
, where a > 0, b > 0 and b not equal to 1 is called an exponential function with base b. If 0 < b < 1. It is an example of an exponential decay. The general shape of an exponential with b > 1 is an example of exponential growth. An exponential function is expressed in the form 
The relation represents a growth when b >1 and a decay when 0<b<1.
Let's solve your system by substitution.

(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer: x=2 and y=3
5.7y-5.2=y/2.5
Add 5.2 to both sides:
5.7y = y/2.5 + 5.2
y/2.5 = 0.4y
5.7y = 0.4y + 5.2
Subtract 0.4y from both sides:
5.3y = 5.2
Divide both sides by 5.3:
y = 5.2/5.3
y = 0.98113
