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

sa = 2πr² + 2πrh
sa = 2π(6²) + 2π(6 x 1)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(6)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 6)π
sa = 72π + 12π
sa = 84π

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

x² - 10x - 27 = -5x - 3
x² - 10x - 27 + 3 = -5x
x² - 10x + 5x - 24 = 0
x² - 5x - 24 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x² - 5x - 24 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 3) or (x - 8) must equal zero:

If (x + 3) = 0, x must equal -3
If (x - 8) = 0, x must equal 8

So the solution is that x = -3 or 8

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a⁵ - 3a⁵ = 0a⁵

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a² - a² = 3a² but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
