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.
