Oh, dude, in math, a symbol that represents a quantity is called a variable. It's like a mysterious letter that stands in for a number, kinda like a math magician pulling numbers out of a hat. So, next time you see a letter in a math problem, just remember it's not trying to confuse you, it's just playing the math game.
