Answer:

175.99.136.0

Explanation:

175.99.138.0/21

Step 1: convert both the ip and the subnet mask to binary format

175.99.138.0 - 10101111.1100011.10001010.00000000

/21 : 255.255.248.0 - 11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000

step 2: perform the bitwise AND operation

In an AND operation, a result of 1 can only be gotten when both inputs are 1. Otherwise, the result will be 0.

10101111.1100011.10001010.00000000

11111111. 11111111. 11111000. 00000000

------------------------------------------------------

10101111. 1100011. 10001000. 00000000

step 3: convert the binary result back to base 10 number

10101111. 1100011. 10001000. 00000000

175.99.136.0
