An equation with two equal signs is not a valid mathematical expression, as an equation should have only one equal sign to show the balance between the two sides. If you encounter an expression with two equal signs, it may be a mistake or a misunderstanding of the mathematical concept. To solve an equation correctly, ensure there is only one equal sign and follow the standard procedures for isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
Equation: x+3=3+x (notice the equal sign: equal; equation)Expression: x+3 (notice no equal sign)
Equation: x+3=3+x (notice the equal sign: equal; equation)Expression: x+3 (notice no equal sign)
An expression does not include an equals sign (=) For eg: 2x+3 would not be an equation but an expression However, 2x+3=0, is definitely an equation with a solution x= -3/2. An expression does not have a definite solution. An expression is a set of terms with mathematical operations combining them. An equation consists of two expressions with an equals sign between them. An expression is a collection of terms and does not have an = sign An equation is a collection of terms but has an = sign between them.
They are terms of some kind of an algebraic expression and without an equality sign it is not an equation.
