If you are given that b = 2, then just plug it in:

So, your final answer is
0.
The answer is B. The first part of the formula finds the base area (both top and bottom) and the second part finds the lateral area of the cylinder. It could also be A but I don’t know if the BA includes both top and bottom.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1
2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12
Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12
3. 3x - 5y = -15
4. -9x + 4y = 144
and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,
Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,
3(-20) - 5y = -15
-5y = 60 - 15
y = 45/-5
= -9
y = -9
12 + 5k + 15 -24
------------------- = -----------------------
k + 3 k - 4
5k + 27 -24
------------ = ---------------
k + 3 k - 4
(k - 4)(5k + 27) = -24 (k + 3)
5k^2 - 20k + 27k -108 = - 24k - 72
5k^2 + 31k - 36 = 0
(5k + 36)(k - 1) = 0
5k + 36 = 0; k = -36/5 = -7.2
k - 1 = 0; k = 1
solutions
k = 1 and k = -7.2
