First, let's find the least common denominator, or LCD of both of them. of the two fractions. 

7 and 3 both go into 21.

Now, multiply the two fractions to get the LCD. Remember, whatever you do to the bottom you must do to the top.

2/7 * 3/3 = 6/21 quart
Michael drank 6/21 quart of milk.

1/3 * 7/7 = 7/21 quart
Joel drank 7/21 quart of milk.

Add together 7/21 and 6/21 to get 13/21, the total amount of milk they both drank from the quart.

Now, subtract 13 from 21 to find how many quarts are left. Simplify if necessary.
21 - 13 = 8/21 quart

Since you can't simplify, there is 8/21 quart of milk left.
Hope I helped! <3

Angle between 16 and 18 = 90 + 55 = 145°

d= \sqrt{16^2+18^2-2*16*18*cos(145^o)}= \\ \\  \sqrt{256+324+471.83}= \sqrt{1051.83} \approx   32

There were 20 dogs and 30 cats at an animal shelter last month. Since then, the number of dogs in the shelter
Softa [21]

Answer:

There is a 4% decrease

Step-by-Step:

if the previous total was 50, then each animal represents 2%. 50*2=100. if you are increasing the dogs by 20% of 20, then you are increasing them by 4 equaling out to 24 dogs. If your decreasing the cats by 20% of 30, then you are decreasing them by 6 equaling out to 24 cats. The new total of animals is now 48. Seeing how each animal still represent 2%, the new percentage is 96%. Subtracting the previous percentage from the new percentage gives a 4% difference.

50 * 2 = 100%

20 * 1.2 = 24

20 * .8 = 24

24 + 24 = 48

48 * 2 = 96%

100% - 96% = 4%

How do you solve 4x squared - 12x = 7 (ALGEBRAICALLY)

4x^2-12x=7 \\&#10;4x^2-12x-7=0 \\ \\&#10;a=4 \\ b=-12 \\ c=-7 \\ b^2-4ac=(-12)^2-4 \times 4 \times (-7)=144+112=256 \\ \\&#10;x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12) \pm \sqrt{256}}{2 \times 4}=\frac{12 \pm 16}{2 \times 4}=\frac{4(3 \pm 4)}{2 \times 4}=\frac{3 \pm 4}{2} \\&#10;x=\frac{3-4}{2} \ \lor \ x=\frac{3+4}{2} \\&#10;x=-\frac{1}{2} \ \lor \ x=\frac{7}{2} \\ \\&#10;\boxed{x=-\frac{1}{2} \hbox{ or } x=\frac{7}{2}}
