CONSTANT VARIABLES
Jhay Mark L. Mabini
A constant is a value or number
that never changes in an expression.
alphabet or term that represents an
unknown number or unknown value or
unknown quantity. The variables are
specially used in the case of algebraic
expression or algebra. For example,
x+9=4 is a linear equation where x is a
variable, where 9 and 4 are constants.
The variable is a quantity that can be

changed, or which is not fixed according
to the mathematical operation
performed. Usually, in algebra, we
express an unknown number using the
term ‘x’ and ‘y’. But this is not particular,
and we can use any alphabet.

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.
