Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−296=−8(8a+5)

−296=(−8)(8a)+(−8)(5)

−296=−64a+−40

−296=−64a−40

Flip the equation

−64a−40=−296

Add 40 to both sides

−64a−40+40=−296+40

−64a=−256

Divide both sides by -64

(−64a ) / (−64) = (−256) / (−64)

a = 4

X = y 2 - 1

pochemuha

Your answer would be option B. 2y² - y - 6 = 0. This is because if you were to substitute x = y² - 1 into the equation 2x - y = 4, you would get 2(y² - 1) - y = 4, which expands into 2y² - 2 - y = 4, and then simplifies to 2y² - y - 6 = 0.
I hope this helps!

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The surface area of the drum is 3317.5218 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drum's have a cylindrical form, therefore in order to calculate its surface area we need to apply the correct formula, as shown below:

$area = 2*\pi*r^2 + 2*\pi*r*h$

Where the first term of the sum is the area of the lid and bottom of the drum and the second term is the area of the walls of the drum, r is the radius and h is the height. Applying the data from the problem, we have:

$area = 2*\pi*12^2 +2*\pi*12*32\\\\area = 3317.5218 \text{ square inches}$

The surface area of the drum is 3317.5218 square inches.
