The Difference between Equation and Expression

 In Mathematics: "The Difference between EQUATION and the ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION"

The terms;  Algebraic expression and Equation very often. As both combines number and/or variables, people often misunderstood an expression for an equation. However, these two mathematical terms are not same, and a big difference lies in their arrangement, that explains what they represent. The best way, to identify, whether a given problem is an algebraic expression or equation is that if it contains an equal to sign (=) it is an equation. However, if it does not contain an equal to (=) sign, then it is just an expression. It carries numbers, variables and operations, that are used to show the value of something. 

            Therefore, with the above explanation is clear that there exist a big difference between these two mathematical concepts. An algebraic expression does not reveal any relationship while an equation does. An equation contains an ‘equal to sign’, therefore, it shows solution or ends up representing the value of the variable. However, in the case of an algebraic expression, there is no equal sign, so there is no definite solution and cannot end up displaying the value of the variable involved.
