Answer is

Step by step

-5b + 5 ≤ -75
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate b

-5b + 5 -5 ≤ -75 -5
Simplify

-5b ≤ -80
Divide both sides by -5 to solve for b

-5/-5 b ≤ -80/-5
Simplify and switch the sign since that’s the rule when you divide by a negative with inequalities

b ≥ 16

Your number line is attached
