dealt with

Attended to it

Dealt with means handled or addressed.

A problem that's been dealt with has received attention: We've dealt with the leak—the plumber just left.

To deal with a person can mean to interact professionally I've dealt with that vendor before or to handle someone difficult: Security dealt with the heckler.

Deal with also means to concern or be about: The book deals with climate change.
