An Algebraic expression is something like...
7b+4a-3c
It is just a statement. Seven b's plus four a's minus three c's.
An Algebraic equation is used to solve something, and has an equal sign.
7b=21
7b/7=b, 21/7 =3
b=3.
You can't solve for the first one, but you can the second. You'll learn more about the uses of Algebraic expressions later. Good luck.

the expression deals with expressing terms. for example"
2x+72-2y
the equation has an = sign therefore you have to solve for the term-the value. an example would be:
2x+44=100
