So if you want it to be 9 less than your number (x) then you would subtract nine.
So it would be:
x - 9.
So if your "number" is 12 then you would substitute x for 12 and it would be 12-9. The answer is 3. So 3 is 9 less than a number (12).
I believe
Am I to assume this is for volume? The volume formula for a cylinder...oblique or not...is V = 1/3pi r^2 h. Cavalieri's principle tells us that the formulas for both are the same. So V = 1/3*pi*100*11 and V = 366.67 pi
Length= 28
Width= 14
Work:
2(2x)+2(x)=84
4x+2x=84
6x=84
x=14
14x2=28 (length)
