I'll finish this in a comment or get a mod to open it, but the way it reads, it beeps 67.2 times in those 12 hours. Did you mean per hour?
67.2 / 12 = 5.6
See comment below. The question is the number of beeps in 1 hour which is 5.6 <<<< Answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we need to be familiar with the formula for the surface area of a cone:

We are given the length of a side and the diameter, to calculate the radius divide the diameter in half:

To calculate the height of the cone, we must use the Pythagorean Theorem:

We can treat the side length as the hypotenuse
, the radius as the base
, and solve for height
. Set the expression up like this:

Now we can plug into our original formula:

The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
Answer: the answer would be 35 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:35000 divided by 1000 equals 35
It's 8 because the number in front of the variable is the slope, while the past 30 is the y intercept
