Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 12 = 4

1/4 of 12 = 3

4 is 1 more than 3.

The number is 12.

_____

If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:

x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1

x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)

x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. Which equation models t

Elden [556K]

$\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules}
\\\\
log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \boxed{a^{log_a x}=x}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
pH=-log(H+)\qquad \stackrel{pH}{7.2}=-log(H+)\implies -7.2=log_{10}(H+)
\\\\\\
10^{-7.2}=10^{log_{10}(H+)}\implies 10^{-7.2}=H+\implies \cfrac{1}{10^{7.2}}=H+$

Jim makes the chart shown below to prove that Triangle APD is congruent to triangle BPC:

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Given a square ABCD and an equilateral triangle DPC and given a chart with which Jim is using to prove that triangle APD is congruent to triangle BPC.

From the chart, it can be seen that Jim proved that two corresponding sides of both triangles are congruent and that the angle between those two sides for both triangles are also congruent.

Therefore, the justification to complete Jim's proof is "SAS postulate"
