Solution

The correct option is A False

We know that an expression is a number, a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operation symbols.

Example: 3x + 2 is an expression

On the other hand, an equation is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example: 8x + 3 = 11

This is an example of an equation.

Clearly, an expression is different in comparison to an equation. An equation is a product of two or more expressions joined together by an equal sign.

Therefore, the expression is false.
