A variable is another name or symbol of a number. For example, in the equation x+7= 10, x would be the variable. The equation wants you to solve what number plus 7 gives you 10. Of course, the number is 3, so 3 would replace x(the variable).

In computer science and mathematics, a variable (sometimes called a pronumeral) is a symbol denoting a quantity or symbolic representation. In mathematics, a variable often represents an unknown quantity that has the potential to change; in computer science, it represents a place where a quantity can be stored. Variables are often contrasted with constants, which are known and unchanging.

a variable in mathematics is a symbol that can represent any number, usually letters. Such as the simple equation X+2=6.....X is a variable but here it represents the number 4. But change any other part of the equation and X changes....that is why it is variable.

A variable (shown in a letter either uppercase or lowercase) is a symbol that is used to represent an unknown factor in the equation.
Example:
5x + 3x = 80
8x = 80
x = 10
x represents the unknown number of 10 in the above equation
