Variables in a math problem vary or change. If in an equation, different variables change values depending on constants, evanuations, etc. For example: in y = x + 2, y can be any number as long as x is that number plus two. The varibles in this equation change value but are defined by the equation.

The independent variable is the thing that stays the same throughout the problem.
X could be a sign for multiplication, or it could also be a variable. A variable is a letter representing a number.
7 is the coefficient.X is the variable.3 is a constant.And this is an expression, not a problem.
If you don't know something in a math equation you can replace it with a variable and then solve it algebraically.
You use variable in math problems to help you solve the answer. For example, you could do 50+50=a. The (a) would be the variable. Or for that same problem you could do 50+y=100. Then the (y) would be the variable.
