5. An expression is a mathematical phrase that contains operations, numbers, and/or variables . A variable is a letter that represents a value that can change or vary. There are two types of expressions: numerical and algebraic . A numerical expression does not contain variables. An algebraic expression contains one or more variables. x + 2 4 n p â r 3 + 2 4(5) 27 â 18 Algebraic Expressions Numerical Expressions
