Answer:

Very good question you have here what do you think the answer is bud

Answer:

1170≥6x+750      x=70

Step-by-step explanation:

We can put these numbers into a slope equation, y=mx+b, the fixed weekly expense ($750) represents b. And the $6 per animal is the slope or m. So our equation become y=6x+750. Now the weekly expense is $1170 and will represent the y in the equaion, 1170=6x+750. First subract 750 from both sides, 420=6x, divide by 6 and get that there was 70 animals in the shelter that week.
