-2+4(-x+4)=10 using distributive property and collecting like terms

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2+4(-x+4)=10\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-2+(4)(-x)+(4)(4)=10\\\\-2-4x+16=10\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-4x+(-2+16)=10\\\\-4x+14=10\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-4x+14-14=10-14\\\\-4x=-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}\\\\x=1$

What is the surface area of the cylinder shown below? Use 3.14 for π. A. 660 cm2 B. 863 cm2 C. 353.25 cm2 D. 785 cm2

lesantik [10]

Answer:

602.88cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the image of the cylinder attached

Surface area of a cylinder = A=2πrh+2πr²

r is the radius = 4cm

Height h = 20cm

Substitute

A = 2πr(r+h)

A = 2π(4)(4+20)

A = 8π(24)

A = 192π

A = 192(3.14)

A = 602.88cm²

Hence the surface area of the cylinder is 602.88cm²
