In algebra, you are dealing with functions of x, where x is a variable, that can take on any value. If x has a value, then the function has a corresponding value. Then for that particular value of x, you are dealing with just one point on a graph, rather than a graph of the entire function. Functions could be derived to describe physical happenings, such as the voltage at a particular place in an electronic circuit at a particular point in time, so you want these variables to remain as variables, until you need to evaluate the function for a particular value of the variable. (Like what is the voltage on the capacitor after 1 second)

What is the value of x in algebra when finding the area of a rectangle?

The formula for the area of a rectangle is L times W (length times width), commonly written LxW or L·W.If you have an x, x probably stands for the total (X=L·W).X in algebra always stands for any unknown quantity, therefore if your x was your length, you could also say A=X·W, where x = length and w=height.
