The difference between an equation and expression in maths is that an expression is a combination of numbers, variables and symbols to be calculated. An equation contains expressions that are separated by an equals sign.

An equation will have an answer at the end like an equal sign. (Ex; 20+20=40)

An expression will NOT have an answer. (Ex; 20+20)
