Math Definitions - Letter V
Chapters
Variable
Definition of variable
A symbol that takes the place of an unknown number in an equation.
We usually use letters like \(x\) or \(y\) for variables, but you could equally well use a picture of an elephant or an anteater.
For example, in the equation \(y = 7x + 8\), the variables are \(x\) and \(y\).
