Question

Statement 1: x + 2
Statement 2: x + 2 = 8
Which of the option is correct regarding statement 1 and statement 2?

• A. Statement 1 is an algebraic expression
• B. Statement 1 is an algebraic equation
• C. Statement 2 is an algebraic expression
• D. Statement 2 is an algebraic equation

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Statement 2 is an algebraic equation

$\Rightarrow$An expression have the variables, coeffecients and constants and can have infinite value of variable.
Hence, x + 2 is an algebraic expression which describes "2 more than x"

$\Rightarrow$An equation is a mathematical statement that states that the two expressions are equal and hold for some values of variable.
Hence, x + 2 = 8 is an algebraic equation.
