Almost everyone has heard about these two-term, Expression and Equation, in real life, most often in math class. Both terms are used in real-world problems. Both contain numbers and variables. The one difference between both terms is that Expression does not have an equal sign while the Equation always has an equal sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
