Marta said 50+ 1/2m=120 is an equation, while Maribel argued that it is an expression. Determine who is correct and explain why.

Respuesta :

Marta is correct. This is an equation. The statement includes an equal sign. Equations include an equal sign, expressions do not include an equal sign.


Parrain

In the argument above, Marta would be correct because an equation contains and equal sign and an expression does not.

An equation:

  • Is composed of more than one expression
  • These expressions are equated together with the use of an equal sign (=)

An expression on the other hand, does not have an equal sign. As the above statement of 50 + 1/2m = 120 has an equal sign, this must be an equation and not an expression.

In conclusion, Marta is right about that mathematical statement being an equation.
