An equations is a math sentence that asserts the quality of two expressions. Basically it's a math sentence that contains a variable and and equal sign. Is it a problem? Only if you have to solve it!

It's easily solved by doing the inverse operation stated with the variable.

Ex: n - 32 = 16 To solve you ADD 32 to both sides of the = sign. (to each expression) a - 32 + 32 cancels out so you're left with just "n" = 16 + 32. Add and you get n = 48
