Like what do you mean? Can you give me an example?

campbell_st · Answer

here is an equation 

4x + 25 = 30

campbell_st · Answer

if there isn't an equals sign and another term, all you have is an expression, which can't be solved

anonymous · Answer

usually it defaults to =0

campbell_st · Answer

so is it a factor in a polynomial such as

(4x + 25)(x + 3) = 0
