Variables and Expressions

A variable is used to represent an unknown number or value.
An algebraic expression combines numbers and variables with arithmetic operations.
Review these terms: product, factor, power, base, exponent
Practice translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions. This is an essential skill you will need to solve word problems throughout this course.
Evaluating an expression means to find the value of the expression.
