Determine which of the following are sentences
(complete idea) and which are phrases (not
complete thought).

Note: The mathematical
expression is equivalent to an
English phrase. The most
common mathematical
statements or sentences are
called equations.
  An expression is a mathematical
phrase that combines numbers and/or
variables using mathematical
operations. There is no equal sign.

Example:
 
An equation is a mathematical
sentence that combines numbers
and/or variables that shows the
equality of two expressions.
There must be an equal sign.
Example:

Answer: ROBERT RECORDE
 
Robert Recorde (c.1512-1558) was a
Welsh physician and mathematician. He
invented the equals sign (=) and also
introduced the pre existing plus sign (+)
to English speakers in 1557.
Algebraic expression is a combination of
variables, numbers, and/or operations that
represents a mathematical relationship, but
no statement of equality or inequality.
(DOES NOT HAVE AN equal sign)
Algebraic equation is a mathematical statement that
two or more expressions are equal.
(MUST HAVE AN equal sign)
Write EX if the given item is expression and EQ if its
equation.
