Answer:

First, you want to know the profits of the three people involved. so...

4800/3=1600

Then, you would make an equation with the proportions: 9x+7y+4x=4800.

Add the invests: 9+7+4=20x and the 4800 would stay same. 

Then divide 4800/20 to get 240 

Now plug the investments to 240 

(9)(240) is 2160 

(7)(240) 1680 

(4)(240) is 960

Lastly, you must subtract to find x as the investments 

so you would do 2160-1600 and you get x=560 

$560 is your final answer
