Find 3/7 of 21? Can you find this answer because my homework I do not know how to do so can you please find this question.
const2013 [10]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

3/7 multiplied by 21 = 3/7 x 21 = 9 = 3/7 x 21/1 = 63/7 = 9

Or if you can't do the math - Think of a  pizza with 21 slices . Now cut this pizza into 7 equal parts. You will find that each part contains exactly 3 slices. Now, eat 3 of these parts. With three slices in each part, you ate 9 slices - which is three sevenths of 21.

Find the distance between the points (6,-4) and (0,5)
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

d = 10.8167

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be easily found by using the following expression

d = √((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)

where

(x1,y1) = (6,-4)

(x2,y2) = (0,5)

d = √((6-0)^2 + (-4-5)^2)

d = √(36 + 81)

d = √(117)

d = 10.8167

Is y=y+8 even, odd, or neither
SIZIF [17.4K]

The expression y = y + 8 does neither represent an odd number nor an even number.

<h3>Does represent a given equation an even or odd number or neither?</h3>

In this problem we must check if a given algebraic equation represents an even number or an odd number or neither by using algebraic means. Even numbers are integers, whose last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, whereas odd numbers are integers, whose last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Now we proceed to  check the expression:

y = y + 8                     Given

y + (- y) = 8                 Compatibility with addition / Existence of additive inverse / Modulative property

0 = 8                           Existence of additive inverse / Modulative property / Result

The expression y = y + 8 does neither represent an odd number nor an even number.

Evaluate √x^2 − y^2 when x^2 =33 and y^2 =15
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to get the value of √ ( x²-y² ), while the value of x² and y² are given to be 33 and 15 respectively.

Hence, x² =33 and y² = 15.  

Putting the values of x² and y² in the above expression we get,

√ ( x²-y² ) = √ ( 33-15) = √18 =3√2. (Answer)
