Greg combined different weights of fertilizer, soil, and compost to make 29 kilograms (kg) of potting soil for some plants. the weight of fertilizer was x kg. the weight of soil was 2 kg more than three times the weight of fertilizer, and the weight of compost was half the weight of fertilizer. this is represented in the equation below: x + (3x + 2) + one half x = 29 what was the difference in the weights of soil and compost greg combined?

17 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

let the weight of fertilizer be x

It is given that combined weight is 29 kg

Weight of soil was 2 kg more than three times the weight of fertilizer

i.e.

soil weight is 3x+2

Also weight  of compost was half the weight of fertilizer

i.e. compost weight =

And combined weight

x+3x+2+=29

x=6 kg

Difference in weight of soil and compost

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
