Question

How is an equation like an expression? How is it different?

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is a set of terms that are combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. The following are examples of expressions:

$2x-1$

$5y+8$

$2$

Note: expressions do not equal anything.

In contrast, equations are expressions that equal at least one term. The following are examples of equations:

$2y-4=26$

$4x-4=0$

$x=10$

$y=x+2$

Note: equations do equal a term, as shown in the examples.
