They do not solve for a variable.

They include an equal sign.

They can be simplified.

They may contain variables and operators.

Only variables and numbers.

Only numbers and operators.

Expressions without an equal sign.

Variables, numbers, and operators, including an equal sign.

Equations are the same as expressions.

Equations can be either true or false.

Equations do not contain variables.

Equations cannot be simplified.

2 + 2 = 4

3 + 1 = 4

9 - 3 = 10

8 * 2 = 16

Multiply the solution by two.

Divide the solution by the coefficient.

Add the solution to each term of the equation.

Substitute the solution back into the equation and simplify.

Divide by 2 on both sides.

Subtract 4 from both sides.

Subtract x and add 3 on both sides.

Add 4 to both sides.

To eliminate all variables from the equation.

To isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

To add complexity to the problem.

To balance the equation by multiplying both sides.
