Numeric and Algebraic Expressions Review

​Numeric Expressions vs. Algebraic Expressions

• ​Numeric expressions are made up of two or more numbers and at least one operation

• ​Algebraic expressions are made up of at least one variable, at least one operation, and at least one other variable or number.

  • ​variables are letters that represent unknown values
