What is a eqausion?

Answer 1

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, typically involving variables, numbers, and mathematical operations (like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). It consists of two parts: a left-hand side (LHS) and a right-hand side (RHS), separated by an equals sign (=).

For example:

2

𝑥

3

=

7

2x+3=7

This is an equation where

2

𝑥

3

2x+3 is equal to 7. The goal is often to find the value(s) of the variable(s) (like

𝑥

x) that make the equation true.
