Simple concept:

An expression doesn't have an equal sign

An equation has an equal sign

The difference between an algebraic equation and an algebraic expression...

An algebraic expression is something you evaluate.
Example) 2x+3x

An algebraic equation is something you solve
Example) 2x+1=5


Do you see the difference? One has an equal sign, and one doesn't.


Best of luck!
