Definition

Equality is a mathematical statement that asserts that two expressions are equal.

Description

Equality is a foundational concept in mathematics. It indicates that two expressions have the same value, represented by the symbol "=". For example, in the equation 2 + 3 = 5, both sides are equal. Equality is used to form equations and solve problems.

In real-world applications, equality is used in accounting, engineering, and data analysis to ensure balance and accuracy. Understanding equality helps students develop logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
