Arancher is selling 240 cattle. half of the cattle are sold to a neighboring ranch. one-third of the cattle are sold to his foreman who is starting his own ranch. how many cattle does the rancher have left to sell?

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
