There were 14 dogs adopted from the animal shelter last week. This week, 8 dogs were adopted .There are 5 dogs left. How many dogs, d, did the shelter have for adoption?

1- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis.2- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in the first question?

Find the solution of each of the following.

If a is a nonzero real number then the reciprocal of a is
