Slide 6 / 249 Equations and Identities
An equation is created when two expressions are set equal to one another such that they are equal for some values of their variables, but not for all. If they are equal for all values of their variables, then that is an identity, not an equation. So, not all mathematical statements which include an equal sign are equations...some are identities.
