terms
It is important to understand a few words to answer this. One must know what terms, expressions, equations and sentences are in math. The first is terms. A term is usually a number, a variable or some product of numbers and variables. For example x is a term as is 2x and 2x2 . An expression is a collection of terms separated by a + or - sign and it does NOT contain an equal sign. Expression can also be made of terms separated by division or terms raised to powers. It can also include functions. So it is a string of terms, but it must obey rules of syntax. An equation is two sets of terms separated by an = sign. It is one type of math sentence. An equation asserts that the two things on either side are equal. Another type of sentence which uses terms is 2<3. A sentence is like a formula and it can be true of false, but it is composed of terms.
The sign of multiplication is x or *
Multiplication statement consists of two or more multiplicands each separated by a multiplication sign (usually "x" or "*") followed by the equals sign ("=") and the answer. In the following line, the numbers two, three and seven each are multiplicands, forty-two is the answer 2 x 3 x 7 = 42
X could be a sign for multiplication, or it could also be a variable. A variable is a letter representing a number.
= is the equals sign + is the plus sign * is the multiplication sign / is the divide sign - is the minus sign

If the two terms are not separated by a minus sign it wouldn't be a difference.a2 - b2 factorises easily into (a - b)(a + b).a2 + b2 does not factorise.
The * is another way to write the times sign (x) for a multiplication problem.
The sign of multiplication is x or *
a plus or minus sign your welcome ;D
