A variable is simply an unknown value. It can be represented by anything else other than numbers (since they won't be variables). For example, a+1 is a variable in an addition expression, b-c is a subtraction expression with two variables. Expressions need not be made up of only 2 items as well. The next line is a single expression as well:

q-w-e-r-t-y-u-i+o+p-a+s+d+f+g-32h+124j+73k-l+z+2x+c+7v-b+4n-8m

well, if you want to add apples to bananas you can't do that it's the same with variables, the coefficients can be different but to add and subtract the variables have to be the same for ex: you can't do 4x+3y because they have different variables you can do 4x+3x because they have the same variables all you do is add the coefficients and keep the variable so you would get 7x


Why can you use addition to check your subtraction?

Addition is the opposite of subtraction. For example, 24 - 9 = 15. If you want to check your answer, add 9 + 15. It equals 24, so your answer is correct.
