To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-6x - 3 > -5 - 9x
-6x > -5 - 9x + 3
-6x + 9x > -5 + 3
3x > -2
x > \( \frac{-2}{3} \)
x > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr² + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr² + 2πrh
sa = 2π(4²) + 2π(4 x 3)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 32π + 24π
sa = 56π

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)² : a = π r².

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
