The number of days in 4 weeks is not properly communicated with an algebraic expression. A week is a constant that consists of 7 days, so the number of days in 4 weeks is the arithmetic expression .

Now, if you had a variable number of weeks, say, weeks, then the number of days in weeks would be expressed with the algebraic expression . On the other hand if you had a variable that represented the number of days in some variable time period, then would be the algebraic expression that represented the number of days in four of those time periods.
