0 01b01font00How do you do "that", "your honework so fast", "that puzzle", "this algebraic problem"? These all are uses of the general verb "do". As pieanne has said, your original phrase is just a formula.02font02b00 0-

0 If you are referring to the greeting, is is a polite way of asking whether you are in good health, and does not usually require an answer. A simple answer "I am very well, thank you , and how are you?" would be quite normal. As a greeting it is usually only used when meeting someone who you have not previously met.0-
