Question

The following list contain some alegbraic expressions and equations:
1. x + 4
2. 3x - 9
3. 2x - 3 = 0

Out of them, is an equation.

• A. 2x - 3 = 0
• B. x + 4
• C. 3x - 9

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2x - 3 = 0

We know, an equation is a statement that asserts the quality of two expressions, which are connected by the equal sign.

The first option is x + 4.

This is an expression, since it does not contain the equal sign.

The second option is 3x - 9

This is also an expression, since it does not contain the equal sign.

The last option is 2x - 3 =0

This has expressions on LHS and RHS connected by equal sign. Hence, this is an equation.

So, in the given list, 2x - 3 = 0 will be an algebraic eqaution.
