A variable is a letter used to stands for a number. The letters x, y, z, a, b, c, m, and n are probably the most commonly used variables. The letters e and i have special values in algebra and are usually not used as variables. Variables are used to change verbal expressions into algebraic expressions, that is, expressions that are composed of letters that stand for numbers.

Example
To evaluate an expression, just replace the variables with grouping symbols, insert the values given for the variables, and do the arithmetic. Remember to follow the order of the operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. x+y2= x=2 y=5 The answer is 12. 5 xy + z if x = 6, y = 7, and z = 1 m2 + 4 n + 1 if m = 3 and n = 2

Writing example
simile: comparing 2 thing using like or as. Example: My brother is as fast as a cheetah. Metaphor: a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. A example: that girl across the street is one hot fox. Idiom is a combination of words that has a figurative language due to its common usage. Example I guess the cats out of the bag.
