9514 1404 393

  2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

After paying 1/3 in tax, 2/3 of Sally's paycheck remains.

After paying 2/5 of that, 3/5 of that 2/3 remains. The remaining fraction is ...

  (3/5)(2/3) = 2/5

After the indicated payments, 2/5 of Sally's paycheck remains.

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. : )
