Explanation:

Step1: Translate to inequality

$\frac{b}{55} + 7 > 5$

Step2: Subtract 7 from both sides

$\frac{b}{55} + 7 - 7 > 5 - 7$
$\frac{b}{55} > -2$

Step3: Multiply by 55 on both sides

$\frac{b}{55} \times 55 > -2 \times 55$
$b > -110$

Answer:

The inequality is $\frac{b}{55} + 7 > 5$, and the solution is $b > -110$
