Variables means what??

Dear Student
Variable definition. A variable is a quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment. Typically, we use a single letter to represent a variable. The letters x, y, and z are common generic symbols used for variables.
 

In mathematics, a variable is a symbol or letter, such as "x" or "y," that represents a value. In algebraic equations, the value of one variable is often dependent on the value of another. For example, in the equation below, y is the "dependent variable" because its value is based on the value assigned to the "independent variable" x.

y = 10 + 2x

The equation above may also be called a function since y is a function of x. If x = 1, then y = 12. If x = 2, then y = 14.
