In algebra, variables are represented by letters such as x. A variable could be any number. That number is the "value" of the variable.
In an expression, you can choose a number to put in for x, and simplify to get a number which is the value of the expression.
In an equation, you can solve for the value of x, which will be the value of x which makes the equation true.

No, but eliminating variables is one of several ways to find the value of variables in a system of equations.
If you replace variables in an expression by numbers (in case there are any variables) and then do the indicated operations, you get a number. That final number is the "value" of the expression.
Finding a set of value for the set of variables so that, when these values are substituted for the corresponding variables, all the equations in the system are true statements.

1) I learned that you can have as many variables as you want. 2) You can change the variables. 3) Variables is used in an experiment. 4) A variable is something that can be changed, such as a characteristic or value. Variables are generally used in Psychology experiments to determine if changes to one thing result in changes to another.
