Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to find the result.
