7 people so first one shakes hand with the remaining people. that is 6

The 2nd person also shakes hand with 6 persons but we have already counted his handshake with first person. so we have to add 6-1 = 5 shakes for 2nd person

like wise 3rd person shakes hand with the remaining 6-2 = 4 people

4th person with 6-3=3 people

5th person with 6-4= 2 persons

6th person with 6-5=1 person

and 7th one with no one because already he has shaken his hand with everyone.

since these people shake their hands with others only once we just have to add the obtained values

6+5 +4+3+2+1= 21

totally 21 handshakes will be there in that room

ANSWER ASAP GIVING BRAILIEST AND STUFF!
natita [175]

Answer:

24s^2, 54s^2, 96s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the initial side length of the cube.  Then the area of each face of the cube is A = 6s^2 (recalling that the area of a square of side length s is s^2).

a) Now suppose we double the side length.  The total area of the 6 faces of the cube will now be A = 6(2s)^2, or 24s^2 (a 24 times larger surface area),

b) tripled:  A = 6(3s)^2 = 54x^2

c) quadrupled?  A = 6(4s)^2 = 96s^2

Answer is –4/5

Rearrange the equation to make y the subject

5y = –4x – 35

y = –4/5 x – 7

If the line is parallel to the other line, they both have the same gradients but different y-intercepts, so the gradient is just as is.

What is the slope of this line?
katen-ka-za [31]

The slope of this line is -3/4

In order to find this, we look for two points on the line and then use the slope formula. Two points that are on the line are (0, 2) and (4, -1). Plug these into the following formula.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-1 - 2)/(4 - 0)

m = -3/4
