No is your answer
Assuming that b ≠ a, the answers will not be the same.
For example, (remembering that b ≠ a) let us assume that b = 10, a = 5
10 - 5 = 5
5 - 10 = -5
5 ≠ -5
So the commutative property of subtraction does not work unless in certain cases, in which a = b.

Answer:there are 900 beds in shelter B
Step-by-step explanation:
Shelter A has a capacity of 300 beds and is 80% occupied. This means that the number of beds in Shelter A that would be
80/100 × 300 = 0.8 × 300 = 240 beds.
Let x represent the capacity of Shelter B. Shelter B is 45% occupied. It means that number of beds in Shelter B that would be occupied is
45/100 × x = 0.45 × x = 0.45x beds.
Total occupancy of shelter A and shelter B would be
240 + 0.45x
The ratio of the occupancy of shelter A to shelter B is 16:27
Total ratio of occupancy = 16 + 27 = 43
Therefore
27/43 × (240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x
27(240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x × 43 = 19.35x
6480 + 12.15x = 19.35x
6480 = 19.35x - 12.15x = 7.2x
x = 6480/7.2 = 900
