Letters help us write rules and solve problems where a number is unknown. For example, (n + 5) can represent any number plus 5.3. What is an expression?
An expression is a combination of numbers, letters, and mathematical operations. Unlike an equation, an expression does not contain an equals sign. For example, 2x, x2 + 4x - 7. Expressions can be simplified, but they cannot be solved because there is no equals sign.
