a math equation is a expression or proposition relating to math or numbers
for example: 1 + 1 = 2 is an equation

rofl = lmao
The last one is a bit of a joke, but it shows (along with the second-to-last one) that variables can be used in equations. Here are some non-equations:
1. 6 = 7
2. y > 4
3. 56789 + 123456
4. I think the = sign looks like a sandwich.
1 isn't an equation because, as I hope you know, 6 is not the same as 7. 2 and 3 aren't equations because they don't contain equals signs. 4 is just plain ridiculous. Just because it contains an = sign doesn't mean it's an equation. In case you hadn't noticed, 2 is an inequality, 3 is a mathematical expression, and 4 is a sentence.

What is average shooting percentage for basketball?
Field Goal (FG) percentage can be determined by diving the field goals made by the field goals attempted. For instance, if a player makes 5 field goals out of 8, then his/her field goal percentage is 62.5%. The field goal percentage is composed of all field goals made--whether a two-pointer or three-pointer. A player's three-pointer percentage is three-pointers made divided by three-pointers attempted. You can find a player or team's field goal percentage in the NBA section of any sports website or listed in the sports section of most U.S. newspapers.

What are the point guards for?
A Point guard, or PG, also called the play maker or "the ball-handler", is one of the standard positions in a regulation basketball game. A point guard has perhaps the most specialized role of any position - essentially, he is expected to run the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right players at the right time. Above all, the point guard must totally understand and accept his or her coach's game plan; in this way, the position can be compared to a quarterback in American football.

Can a player be ejected for the season for technical fouls?
Yes, but only in a very specialized instance. Only when a double technical is called and it is the second technical foul for one of the offenders. In this case, the player with the second technical foul is ejected and both teams will shoot free throws, which is not normally the case with double technical fouls. The team without an ejected player may choose their own shooter, however, the other team can select any player on the opposing team to shoot in the place of the ejected player. This is effectively the only time a player will come off the bench to shoot free throws.
The only other instance this is a possibility is when a player is injured and must leave the floor prior to technical free throws being taken.
