A so-called "variable", such as "x", depending on the context, can either represent:* As a placeholder for any value, as in: "For any number x, 2x = x + x" (i.e., two times the number is the same as if you add the number to itself),

* As an unknown quantity which you have to solve for, for example: "x + 3 = 10; how much is x?"
