    A variable is a letter that you use to replace a number that you don't know. Tiles can only
    be combined with the same tile.

  8. Variables:
    In algebra, a variable is a latter that replaces a number in an equation. Variables can be combined when they are the same, and the most common variable is "x". Tiles can be also be combined as well, this is called"combining like-terms".

  9. Variables
    A variable is a letter in an alegebra equation used to represent a number. Tiles can only be combined when they have the same variable. Example: X could be combined with another x but it cannot be combined with x squared or y.

  10. Variables: a variable is a number that you dont know most often x and you can only combine variables that are the same for example, you can not combine x and y, but you can combine x and 2x to get 3x.

    A variable is a letter used to represent a number in algebra usually it is x.The types of tiles are x,x^2,xy,y,y^2,and Each type of tile can only be combined when they are the same for example the tile xy can only be combined with another xy tile, as for all the other tiles.

  14. Variables
    A variable is a letter in the place of an unidetified number and is found out through a series of algebraic problems. The types of tiles are x,x^2,y,y^2,and xy. They can only be combind when grouped togather in an algebraic if needeed.

  15. Variables
    A variable is a letter in place of a number that is unknown. The types of tiles are x square,x,y square,y,xy, and the unit one. The only time they can be combined is if they are the same type of tiles.(Ex- 2x+xy+x= 3x+xy)

  16. Variables- variables replace on or more numbers in an equation. Tiles can be combined when they are the same (also known as like terms). The most famous variable is "x".

  17. Variables
    To me variables are x, 2x, and y. They also represent different numbers that you need to figure out to get the answer.

  18. A variable is any letter that represents any number. The same number can only be representing one number per equasion.

  20. Variables
    Variables are letters with number values. So 2x and 6x can go together but 6x and 9y can't be put together.
