Explain the difference between evaluating an expression and solving an equation. use examples to support your explanation.

Unlike an equation, expression does not have an equal sign.

Example

(x² - 4²) / (x + 2)

So, by evaluating an expression it means to simplify the expression. Let's take a look at the example again

(x² - 4²)

= (x + 2)(x - 2) / (x + 2)

= (x - 2)

Solving an equation involves finding an unknown value given in the equation. It contains an equal to sign (=) so, it result in a solution.

Example

(x² - 4²) / (x + 2) = 0

(x + 2)(x - 2) / (x + 2) = 0

(x - 2) = 0

x = 2

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
