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

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.
because you undo the operation in the equation= to undo subtraction you add
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
to come up with the total
Addition + Subtraction - Multiplication * Division /
