A because 2x9 equals 18 and 9x2 equals 18
When faced with an unknown variable in a maths problem, it is advised to find the subject formula and then use it to solve the equation to find the answer.
<h3>What is an Unknown Variable?</h3>
This refers to the type of variable in a given equation that has to be solved for because its properties or value is not known.
Hence, we can see that when faced with an unknown variable in a given math problem, it is better to find the subject formula, then input the value of this into an equation, to find the value of the variable.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
new length=15+x
width=19+x
then area=(15+x)×(19+x)=285+15x+19x+x²=x²+34x+285 ft²
original area=15×19=285 ft²
then 285+98=x²+34x+285
or
x²+34x-98=0
x²+34x+17²=98+17²
(x+17)²=98+289=387
x+17=√387=3√43
x=3√43-17 ft
Answer: 7.25 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 13¹/₂ to a whole number with a decimal:
= 1/2 = 0.5
= 13.5 gallons of gas
If the gas reduces by 6.25 gallons, the amount of gas remaining will be:
= Starting amount - Amount reduced by
= 13.5 - 6.25
= 7.25 gallons
