3/4 of what equals 75

So, you need to know your vocabulary. "Of" means multiply. So you don't know the "what" part, so put a variable. For the variable, we can put x. Then "equals" means the = sign. So, it would look like this: 3/4x=75. Now you solve x. Divide 4 on both sides and you get 3x=300. Now divide 3 on both sides and you get: x=100
So that means x (or "what") would equal 100.

A conjecture and the paragraph proof used to prove the conjecture are shown.

Observe the figure given.

Let us complete the given paragraph:

It is given that E is the midpoint of DF. So, DE $\cong EF$ by the definition of midpoint.

As, midpoint divides the line segment into two equal halves.

Therefore, DE =EF by the segment congruence postulate. DE+EF = DF by the segment addition postulate and so DE+DE = DF by substitution.

Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points P and Q, a third point S lies on the line segment PQ if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation PS + SQ = PQ.

Simplifying gives 2DE = DF.

Tres hombres forman una sociedad y se ponen de acuerdo para repartir las ganancias en partes iguales x invierte $3500 y Y invier

Arlecino [84]

For this case, the total amount invested is:
investment = 3500 + 1000 = 4500
We must take out the percentage of what X invested.
X investment = (3500/4500) * 100 = 77.78%.
Therefore, X gets 77.78% of the profits:
X profit = 0.7778 * 3000 = 2333.33 $
answer
if the profits are distributed in proportion to the amount invested X receives 2333.33 $

Find the slope between the two points: (9,9) and (12,15)

grandymaker [24]

The slope formula is $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$ . For the two points, $(x,y)$ . You can pick any of the Y and X from these two points, but only once. $\frac{9-15}{9-12}$ = $\frac{-6}{-3}$ = 2 or $\frac{15-9}{12-9}$ = $\frac{6}{3}$ = 2 and both will equal to. The answer for the slope is 2.
