Learning Objective
I can define a variable and explain its purpose in algebra.
- 1
A variable is a symbol that represents a value that can change or vary.
- 2
In the example from the video, the amount of tips earned per hour is a variable because it is not fixed.
- 3
Instead of writing out the entire word 'tips', we can use a letter such as 't' or 'x' to represent the variable.
