In the literal equation below, what do c and f represent? f=9/5c +32 1. variables 2. constants 3. units 4. numbers

Variables

F and C are placeholders for numbers. They are called variables because they are allowed to vary, or change. If you change C then it affects F, and vice versa. If the values for the placeholders is not allowed to change, yet it holds a number, then it is considered a constant. In this case, we don't have constants or else the formula isn't too useful. 

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
