1.1.3 Variable = Number of yellow tiles
Constant= Number of red tiles = 2
Constant = Number of blue tiles= 4
Constant: A constant can be defined as a fixed value, which is used in algebraic
expressions and equations. A constant does not change over time and has a fixed
value. For example, the size of a shoe or cloth or any apparel will not change at any
point.
In an algebraic equation, x+y = 8, 8 is a constant value, and it cannot be changed.
Variables: Variables are terms which can change or vary over time. Its value does
not remain constant, unlike constants. For example, the height and weight of a
