Yes, numerical expressions can have the same value. For example, the expressions 2+3 and 5 both have the value of 5. Similarly, the expressions 2x3 and 6 both have the value of 6. In general, any two numerical expressions that evaluate to the same number will have the same value.
Yes. In general, you can combine expressions into more complicated expressions. For example, adding an expression to another expression will, again, yield an expression.
In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find what values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) fulfill a condition stated in the form of an equation (two expressions related by equality). These expressions contain one or more unknowns, which are free variables for which values are sought that cause the condition to be fulfilled. To be precise, what is sought are often not necessarily actual values, but, more in general, mathematical expressions. A solution of the equation is an assignment of expressions to the unknowns that satisfies the equation; in other words, expressions such that, when they are substituted for the unknowns, the equation becomes an identity
Quite simply that, like any general-purpose integration method, it works only for some specific cases. In this case, not all expressions can be simplified into something integrable simply by substituting something.
A letter or symbol used to represent an unknown quantity is typically called a variable. In mathematics, common variables include letters such as ( x ), ( y ), and ( z ). These variables can stand for different values in equations and expressions, allowing for the representation of general cases and relationships between quantities.
