Answer:

(a) Because the expression is not an equation

(b) Because the expression is an equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): a + 2

The above expression can assume any value for a because it is not an equation.

Take for instance:

a = 2;

[tex]a + 2 \to 2 + 2 = 4[/tex]

[tex]a =-4[/tex]

[tex]a + 2 \to -4 + 2 = -2[/tex]

The reason for this is because the expression is not an equation

Solving (b): [tex]b + 2 = 5[/tex]

The above expression can assume only value for b, and the value is:

[tex]b + 2 = 5[/tex]

[tex]b = 5-2[/tex]

[tex]b =3[/tex]

This means that only [tex]b =3[/tex] will make the equation true.

The reason for this is because the expression is an equation
