Is NaCl H2O a complete and balanced chemical equation?

No, NaCl H2O is not a chemical equation. An equation must have an equal sign. And even if you put an equal sign into those terms, it is not true that NaCl = H2O, so that would be a false equation, not a complete and balanced equation. You are not even close to having that.


How do you the solve the equation x equals 2y in terms of x?
