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

Do you add before you subtract?

In mathematics, the order of operations dictates that you perform addition and subtraction in the order they appear from left to right in an expression. This means that you should perform addition before subtraction only if addition comes before subtraction in the expression. If addition and subtraction are next to each other, you would perform them from left to right.
