1. The problem is to understand and solve expressions or equations without using variables. 2. Normally, algebraic problems involve variables like $x$, $y$, or $z$ to represent unknown values. 3. Without variables, problems typically involve direct numerical calculations or simplifications. 4. For example, if given an expression like $5 + 3 \times 2$, you follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): first multiply, then add. 5. Calculate $3 \times 2 = 6$. 6. Then add $5 + 6 = 11$. 7. So, the final answer is $11$. 8. If you have a problem without variables, focus on arithmetic operations and follow the correct order of operations. 9. If you provide a specific expression or problem, I can help solve it step-by-step.
