This is substituting a value for the letter.
For example in F = 9/5 C + 32
When the C is substituted by 10, the equivalent value of F can be found:
F = 9/5 × 10 + 32 = 50
(This is the formula to convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit.)
There can be more than 1 letter, for example in V = πr²h. Here:
V is the volume of a cylinder
π is the [Greek letter p and is used for the] ratio of a circle to its diameter and ALWAYS has the approximate value 3.1415927
r is the radius of the end of the cylinder
h is the height of the cylinder
V, r and h are specified by the problem, usually with one of them missing to be found by substituting the others in to the above formula, possibly requiring an algebraic rearrangement to make the unknown the subject. eg to find h given V and r, the formula is rearranged, making h the subject: v = πr²h → h = V/(πr²)

How do I plug in a variable?
You cannot plug in a variable, what you do is plug in the value for a variable. If you know the value of the variable in an equation (or formula), the process of replacing that variable whenever it appears in the equation by its value is called plugging in the value for the variable.
A formula that will add up a column of numbers?
a value formula
If x12 and y 13 what is x-y?
The idea is to replace "x" by its value, to replace "y" by its value, and then to do the calculations.

How do you work the formula of a sphere?
You replace the radius in the formula, and do the calculations, to obtain either the volume or the area, depending on what formula you are talking about.
