In math, you might see a problem that looks like this - 2
m +
n. The letters (
m and
n) are called variables. The whole problem is called an expression. To figure out this expression, you need to know what the letters represent. In this case, the
m stands for 2 and the
n stands for 3. Also, when you see two numbers, or variables, beside each other, that means you multiply them. Now you can figure out the expression.
1. 2
m + n2
(2
) + 3
4 +3 = 72. x = 2.4 y = 4.2 2(x) + y
2(2.4) + 4.2
4.8 + 4.2 = 9
