Answer:
Step 1
Write and solve the inequality:
2,500 + 40a ≥ 4,000, or 40a ≥ 1,500
a ≥ 37.5
Step 2
If the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs,
or 40 animals, that will be enough to meet
its goal, because a = 40 is a solution to the
inequality a ≥ 37.5.
7/10=70/100=70%, so the answer is seventy-percent.
For Commutative Property of Addition
Let us take a decimal number
and a fraction 
Now, according to the Commutative property of Addition:
For any two numbers
and
:

So, for
and 
Let us add


Also,


Therefore, 
Hence, Commutative Property of Addition is satisfied.
For Associated Property of Addition
Let us take two same decimal numbers
,
and a fraction 
Now, according to the Associated property of Addition:
For any three numbers
,
and 

So, for
,
and 
The Left hand side:







The Right hand side:






Thus,

Therefore, 
Hence, Associative Property of Addition is satisfied.
2x - 8y = 32
-8y = -2x + 32
y = (-2/-8)x - 32/8
y = 1/4x - 4 <== slope intercept form
