Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Option (3) is not an equation. It is an expression. An equation is a mathematical statement where two expressions are equal to each other connected by an equal sign. In option (1), 3+1 is equal to 4+0 so it is an equation. In option (2), x2-2x is equal to 8, so it is also an equation. In option (4), 1+3 is equal to 6, so it is an equation, though it is not a true statement. However, in option (3), there is no equal sign, so it is not an equation. It is an expression that simplifies to 8x+2.
