7 0

You can set up a proportion that looks like 3/7 = x/21. X being the number that you are trying to find. Seven goes into 21 three times. So multiply 3 also by that 3 to get 9. So three sevenths of twenty-one is 9.

Answer:

the answer is 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what the original number is. So its not 9. If you do a inverse operation which is 2 divided by 3/7 you get 49. To check your work if you multiply 49 by 3/7 you get 21.

Answer: (-3,0)

To get this answer, we subtract 5 from the x coordinate and add 2 to the y coordinate. Point A is located at (x,y) = (2,-2) so we see that x = 2 and y = -2

Subtract 5 from the x coordinate: x-5 = 2-5 = -3. The new x coordinate is -3

Add 2 to the y coordinate: y+2 = -2+2 = 0. The new y coordinate is 0.

Therefore, using the rule (x,y) --> (x-5,y+2) has the mapping (2,-2) ---> (-3,0)
