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.
i dont understand what you mean by symbolic but ill just do an example 2a + 3 = 4 - 5a first collect like terms 2a +3 -3 = 4 -3 -5a 2a = 4-3 - 5a 2a + 5a = 1 - 5a + 5a 2a + 5a = 1 7a = 1 divide both sides by the coefficient of the unknwown(i.e. the number in front of the letter) 7a/7 = 1/7 a = 1/7
Answer to: 5a + 1 = a - 3a = -1
The question contains an expression - not an equation nor an inequality. An expression cannot be true or false.
5a + 3 + (2a - 2) + a= 5a + 3 + 2a - 2 + a= 8a + 1
We're not sure what the question means by "root". It may be what's usuallyreferred to as the "solution" of the equation ... the number that 'a' must be inorder to make the equation a true statement. Here's how to find the 'solution':- 5a - 3 = 3aAdd 5a to each side:- 3 = 8aDivide each side by 8:- 3/8 = a
3

In a mathematical sense, 3x isn't an equation, but an expression. In this expression, 3 is a coefficnet.

Because of limitations with the question software, some symbols cannot be rendered, so we don't know what operation there is between the 5a and the 4a-1. Assuming a plus sign produces an inconsistent equation. But if we assume a / (slash) for division, we get a quadratic equation that produces some reasonable roots, so here's what I think the question is: Can you solve the following equation for a: 5a/(4a-1) = 9a-4 ? Yes you can! Multiply both sides of the equation by 4a-1. This gives you: 5a = (9a-4)(4a-1) Expand the right side, which gives you 5a = 36a2 -9a -16a + 4 Subtract 5a from both sides and group similar terms: 0 = 36a2 -30a + 4 Now, use the quadratic formula to solve for a(left to the student): a1 = 2/3; a2 = 1/6
m2 (-1-3) is an expression, neither an equation nor an inequality. Therefpore, there is nothing to solve.
