Answer:
Sometimes in math we describe an expression with a phrase. For example, the phrase
"222 more than 555"
can be written as the expression
2 + 52+52, plus, 5.
Similarly, when we describe an expression in words that includes a variable, we're describing an algebraic expression (an expression with a variable).
For example,
"333 more than xxx"
can be written as the algebraic expression
x+ 3x+3x, plus, 3.
But why? Why use math if we can describe things in words? One of the many reasons is that math is more precise and easier to work with than words are. This is a question you should keep thinking about as we dig deeper into algebra.
