A variable is a name given to a quality that can assume a range of values.

Explanation:

When an equation is enumerated, certain assumptions need to be made in order to dispense the convenience of problem-solving. This convenience refers to the introduction of a variable in the equation. When a variable is put in the equation, a certain degree of flexibility is offered as the one who tries to prove the equation, gets the concession to assign any suitable value to the variable that would satisfy the equation.
