For example, Tim&#8217;s grandma gave him many candy bars. He ate a few and now had 5 left. So, how many candy bars did Tim eat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Let us pose this question using algebra:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We know how many candy bars are left, so the number 5 would be called the <em>constant. <\/em><strong>Constants<\/strong> are numbers that have a fixed numerical value. We do not know how many candy bars Tim\u2019s grandma gave him, so we will call it <em>x<\/em>. The letter <em>x<\/em> represents the unknown quantity and is known as a <em>variable<\/em>. When we subtract the number of uneaten candy bars from the number of candy bars Tim\u2019s grandma gave him, we will learn how many he has eaten already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
