Using a letter to represent a number is known as a variable in mathematics. Variables are commonly used in algebra to represent unknown values and can take on different numerical values depending on the context of an equation or expression. For example, in the equation (x + 2 = 5), the letter (x) serves as a variable representing an unknown number.
