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

What do you call the order use to do arithmetic in a numerical expression?
It is known as BIDMAS (UK) or PEMDAS (US) BIDMAS = Brackets, Index, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. or PEMDAS = Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. There is no porder between DM/MD and between AS: Division and multiplication are to be carried out left to right. Addition and subtraction are to be carried out left to right.
Why would you use addition to solve a subtraction equation?
because you undo the operation in the equation= to undo subtraction you add
How do you use variable in an addition or subtraction?
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
How can you use symbols to write addition and subtraction equations?
to come up with the total
What are the four operations in math that you mostly use?
Addition + Subtraction - Multiplication * Division /
