The variable “x” can be defined as the price of regular gas.
The equation is x = x - (.02)7
x = x - (.02)7
(.02)7 = .14
x = x - .14
 X - X = nothing so it just leaves you with -.14
The answer is that the gas price changed by a total of - 14 cents or -0.14

A rectangular poster has an area of 190 inches squared. The height of the poster is one inch less than twice its width. Find the
Annette [7]
Set the height to h, and the width to w.

We know that wh=190 and h=2w-1.

Substituting 2w-1 for h, we have:

w(2w-1)=190

So:
2w^2-w-190=0

Factoring this equation, we get (2w+19)(w-10)=0.  The solutions to this equation are -9.5 and 10, but clearly the width must be positive, Substituting 10 for the width, we get 10*2-1=19 for the height.
