Answer

The statement that does not represent an expression are 4 + x = 12 and x^2 = 24 which are option B and C respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is a set of term combined using the operators +, - /

From the option given

8+ x - 7 this can be further expressed as

8 + x - 7

x + 8 - 7

x - 1

The only expression in the option are x - 1, and 5

4 + X = 12 is an equation. This is because it is a combination of two expressions that are equal to each other

x^2 = 24 is also an equation

Therefore, the statement that does not represent an expression are 4 + x = 12 and x^2 = 24 which are option B and C respectively
