What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an equation? (1 pt.)

Mathematics

The primary difference between the two is an equals sign. An "equation" has a left side, a right side and an equals sign separating the sides. An "expression," by contrast, doesn't have any "sides" and is simply what the name suggests: An algebraic "expression." Though sometimes it is possible to combine like terms, we are generally not expected to "do" or "solve" anything regarding expressions.

For example:

3x - 7 = 2

This is an EQUATION, because it has a left side, a right side, and an = sign separating the two.

3x - 7

This is an EXPRESSION, because there are no "sides" and no = sign.

2 negatives can be converted to a plus sign. -(-x) can be +x or just x.

-54--23

-54+23

<u>23-54=-31</u>

78--4

<u>78+4=82</u>

-48/-6

Now let's pause fer a sec. When a negative is being divided by another negative, the quotient(answer to division problem) becomes a positive.

<u>-48/-6=8</u>

<u>50*-4=-200</u>

A can of tennis balls costs $6. The total cost c of n cans, including sales tax t, is given by the equation c = 6n + t. Which is
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The reason why c = 6n + t is the same as c - t = 6n is because c is the sum of the addition problem. 6n and t are the addends. The inverse operation for addition is subtraction. c is the cost that will be reduced by t. The answer is still 6n.
