A pronumeral is a letter that can be used to replace a number (numeral).
Depending on the context it can be
a) a variable whose value is unknown but may change or depend on something else e.g y=2x + 3 (where x and y are variables and pronumerals)
b) a constant but unknown value e.g 2a=6 where a is having a fixed value, 3
c) a coefficient when one pronumeral multiplies another e.g ax where a is a pronumeral that is an unknown constant and multiplies another pronumeral (or a variable) x . Here 'a' is also termed as coefficient
thus a pronumeral can be
a) variable b) constant and c) coefficient

∙ 11y agoA pronumeral stands in place of a number and sometimes this will be a variable, but very often not.
eg: in 2a = 6, 'a' is used in place of the number 3. But, in this case, 'a' can only equal 3. It's value does not VARY, it is not flexible. I find it interesting that so many people would describe this equation as 'Algebra' when they would describe, "What does 6 divided by 2 equal?" as a simple maths question.
A 'variable' is as its name describes, variable. It's value will change (or vary) depending on the circumstances.
eg: y = 2x + 4. The value of 'y' depends entirely on the value of 'x'. There are not fixed answers, only a fixed relationship between these two variables. THIS is Algebra.

Define dependent responding variable?
A dependent (responding) variable is a condition that can change as the result of an independent variable's alteration. It can also be referred to as an effect. Every well-designed experiment has three kinds of variables. 1) Control variables, which are the same for each stage of the experiment. 2) Independent (manipulated) variables, which represent what is being changed by experimenters. 3) Dependent (responding) variables, which respond to the change and ideally are the direct result of the change in the independent (manipulated) variables.
What is the full definition of multicollinearity?
Multicollinearity is when several independent variables are linked in some way. It can happen when attempting to study how individual independent variables contribute to the understanding of a dependent variable
What is a sentence with the word 'interaction'?
The variables are not simply additive; they are interactive.
Is there another word for dependent variable?
another name for variables is factors
What is the definition on algebraic model?
An algebraic model uses variables and numbers. Example: x*54=648
Why is the order not important when multiplyingnumbers and pronumerals?
The order is unimportant because, owing to the fundamental principles of mathematics, the same answer is reached regardless.Just as "1 times 2" is the same as "2 times 1", it does not matter how many different numbers or variables there are, if they are multiplied this principle applies.xyz is the same as yzx for example.Of course, it is not just multiplication for which this applies. The same is true of addition for example.
Francois Viete introduced the use of?
+, -, coefficents, pronumerals. heaps
What is n used for in maths?
ANSWER: "n" is a pronumeral which stands for an unknown number. Pronumerals are used in algebra.
What are the terms that contain the same variables with corresponding variables having the same exponent?
like terms
The variables in an experiment that stay the same?
These "variables" are called independent variables or constant variables meaning that they are capable of being changed by the experimenter but are intentionally held the same through each individual experiment.
Are constant variables and independent variables the same?
No they are not the same. A constant variable keeps going at a constant rate.
Do you have to use the same variables for all equations when creating a system of equations?
The idea is to work with the same variables, but it is possible that some of the variables are missing in some of the equations.
Are Variations the same as variables?
No.
Are constant variables and derived variables the same?
Constant variables are constant, they do not change. Derived variables are not constant. They are determined by the other values in the equation.
How are constant variables different from independent variables?
Constants stays the same independent variables is the variable that is being manipulated
An experiment in which all variables stay the same is called?
An experiment in which all variables stay the same is called a "controlled experiment".
If two graphs have exactly the same shape what can you tell about the variables?
The two variables are correlated.
