The difference between these two is that an expression only contains variables, numbers, and mathematical symbols, and an equation contains two expression with an equal sign that separate them. For example, while an expression is "2x-1", an equation is "2x-1 = 5x."
a numerical expression is just an expression without any equal or unequal signs, e.g. (a+2b)c or 5x-6y an equation shows two expressions with an equal sign, e.g. (a+2b)c = 53 or 5x-6y = 3k2-7k+21
it has to have an x number in it.
As far as I know it's an expression because it doesn't have an equal sign. That's the main difference between expressions and equations.
An expression does not equate to anything. An equation is equal to something. Expression: x+2 Equation: x+4=2x Equivalent expressions: x+2 and 2x-2 if x=4 Equivalent equations: x+4=2x and -x+10=2x if x=4
Expression has no answer. a equation has an answer
An equation has an equal = sign whereas an expression does not.
An expression has no equal sign whereas an equation does have an equal sign
An equation is a ploblem with no answer and an expression is a problem with an answer so you'll get different answers with an equation and an expression.
an equation has an equals sign.

Simply put, an expression does not need an equal sign, while an equation does. Equation: x+y=z Expression: x+y
similarity: both involve arithmetic operations and/or functions difference: an equation either produces an answer or shows how two expressions are equal, an expression does not produce an answer and is usually a portion of an equation or a larger expression
An expression is a statement of terms and has no equal sign. An equation is a statement of two terms that equal each other.
simply put, an expression has no "equal to" sign (=). and equation has the "equal" to sign and and inequality has either one of these signs <, >
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.
Equation: x+3=3+x (notice the equal sign: equal; equation)Expression: x+3 (notice no equal sign)
