Substituting a numerical value for each variable in an expression and then simplifying the resulting expression is known as evaluating the expression. This process involves following the order of operations, which includes performing operations inside parentheses first, then exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right. By replacing variables with specific numbers, we can determine the exact value of the expression based on those inputs.
That looks like the description of an EXPRESSION. However, an expression need not have "at least one operation"; a single number, or variable, is a perfectly valid expression.
An algebraic expression can have a mixture of numbers and variables, but it does not contain an equals sign.

The algebraic expression for 12 divided by a number is 12/x, where x represents the unknown number being divided into 12. This expression represents the quotient of 12 divided by the unknown number x. It can also be written as a fraction, 12 over x.
17 - y
That is called 'solving'.

The term for replacing a variable with another value or expression is "substitution."
Evaluating the expression.
Substituting.
That is sometimes known as EVALUATING the expression.
Variable is any letter used in an algebraic expression, and can vary (change form) to be any number, and one variable means the same number in any single algebraic expression. Usually algebra is simplifying the expression or equation until you know what the variable is equal to.
And the question is ...
It is called evaluating the equation.
Because you are substituting a number for a variable. Like substituting salt for sugar in a cake recipe. Although you really shouldn't do the latter.
The answer to the question is given in the question!If you want to find the value of an algebraic expression, then you need to substitute numerical values for each of the variables in the expression, and then calculate and simplify the result.
A variable is a letter that represents a number. An expression that contains at least one variable is called variable expression, also called algebraic expression. A variable expression has one or more terms. A term is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables. For example,3(x^2)y + 2xy + x - 7 is a variable expression, where you have 4 terms.When working with variable expression, you often use the substitution principle:If a = b, then a may be replaced by b in any expression.The set of numbers that a variable may be represent is called replacement set, or domain, of the variable. To evaluate a variable expression, you replace each variable with one of its values and simplify the numerical expression that results.Example: Evaluate the expression 2x - 4y for x = 5 and y = -9.Solution:2x - 4y= 2(5) - 4(-9)= 10 + 36=46
