3. Definitions:
Constant
Any number is a constant such as 3, 5,8,15 and 27.
Any symbol that has a fixed value is a constant such as 𝜋 ,since its
value is approximately 3.1416.
Variable
Any letter is a variable such as 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑛.
Any symbol that used to represent an unknown number such as
, _____.
Note: Variable is used to represents the unknown number.
