Writing Equations

Question 1 • NC-Foundations of Math 1 (Fall) [1st 9 Weeks]

Which sentences describe the relationship between an expression and an equation? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
An equation contains variables; an expression never does.
B
An equation contains an equal sign; an expression does not.
C
Both expressions and equations contain numbers and/or variables.
D
An expression has addition and subtraction; an equation never does.
E
An expression involves multiplication, but equations only use addition.

Explanation

An expression is a mathematical phrase made of numbers and/or variables, while an equation states that two expressions are equal. The equal sign makes B true, and both expressions and equations can contain numbers or variables, so C is true. A is false because expressions can contain variables, and equations can use operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
