VARIABLES
In Mathematics, a variable is an
alphabet or term that represents an
unknown number or unknown value or
unknown quantity. The variables are
specially used in the case of algebraic

x+9=4 is a linear equation where x is a
MATHEMATICS variable, where 9 and 4 are constants.
CONSTANT VARIABLES The variable is a quantity that can be

to the mathematical operation
performed. Usually, in algebra, we
express an unknown number using the
term ‘x’ and ‘y’. But this is not particular,

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION
An algebraic expression (or) a
variable expression is a combination of
terms by the operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.
For example, let us have a look at the
expression 5x + 7. We can say that 5x + 7
is an example of an algebraic expression.
