You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to fix the foundation of your algebra
Maybe the way the question is being asked is
confusing.
----------
You are correct that is an expression
When you add on ( = something ) then it
becomes an equation.
--------------------
I can make this expression equal to anything I want.
Suppose I say:
I must isolate on the left side, so I will add
to both sides:
----------------
Like I said, I can put anything I want on the right side, but
it doesn't necessarily have to be true
Suppose I said:
It's just not a true statement, and there's no way to make it true
The following is true, but can be anything, not just a single number:
If I say , that will work,
and so will or
----------------
Hope this helps
