Interpreting Mathematical Data: Expressions vs. Equations
As a team lead, you are explaining mathematical terminology to a group of interns who are analyzing company spreadsheets. In a brief response, describe the difference between an algebraic expression and an algebraic equation. Your explanation must include:
- A definition of both terms.
- An identification of which term functions as a mathematical 'phrase' and which one functions as a complete 'sentence.'
- The specific symbol that must be present to classify a structure as an equation.
