The equal sign in math is a sign that shows the equality between two expressions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In simple words, the meaning of equal sign is that there is an equality between the values, or expressions written on both the sides. The symbol that represents the equal sign is given by two small parallel horizontal lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

statement of equality between two mathematical expressions that contains variables and constants. In every equation, the expression given on the left-hand side (LHS) is equal to the expression given on the right-hand side (RHS).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: $5 + 3 = 8$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This means that the LHS is $5 + 3$ and it is equal to the RHS, which is 8.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">If we have an equation $2x + 3 = 7$. It means that $2x + 3$, i.e., the expression given on LHS is equal to 8, i.e., the expression given on RHS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Then we can deduce that $x=2$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/equal-sign-in-an-algebraic-expression.png\" alt=\"Equal sign in an algebraic expression\" class=\"wp-image-40579\" title=\"Equal sign in an algebraic expression\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/equal-sign-in-an-algebraic-expression.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/equal-sign-in-an-algebraic-expression-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-using-the-%E2%80%9Cequal-to%E2%80%9D-sign-in-measurement-\">Using the \u201cEqual To\u201d Sign in Measurement&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The amount or quantity or length of any object is shown by measurement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, Oliver is given the task of measuring the length of a spoon. He uses a centimeter scale to measure its length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">He finds out the distance between the start and the endpoint of the spoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The length of the spoon $= 16$ cm.

In fractions, the equal sign between two fractions represent that they are equivalent fractions or the fractions cover equal parts of a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: $\\frac{1}{5}=\\frac{2}{10}$ means that $\\frac{1}{5}$ is equivalent to $\\frac{2}{10}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/equal-sign-to-represent-equivalent-fractions.png\" alt=\"Equal sign to represent equivalent fractions\" class=\"wp-image-40581\" title=\"Equal sign to represent equivalent fractions\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/equal-sign-to-represent-equivalent-fractions.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/equal-sign-to-represent-equivalent-fractions-273x300.png 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-difference-between-the-equal-sign-and-the-equal-sign-with-three-lines\">Difference between the Equal Sign and the Equal Sign with Three Lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The equal sign with two lines means two expressions are equal. For example: $a = 4, b = 12$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">On the other hand, the equal sign given with the three lines means two things are identical. It is similar to but not necessarily the same as an equal sign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/difference-between-the-equal-sign-and-the-equal-sign-with-three-lines.png\" alt=\"Difference between the equal sign and the equal sign with three lines\" class=\"wp-image-40582\" title=\"Difference between the equal sign and the equal sign with three lines\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/difference-between-the-equal-sign-and-the-equal-sign-with-three-lines.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/difference-between-the-equal-sign-and-the-equal-sign-with-three-lines-300x272.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-equal-sign-with-slash\">Equal Sign with Slash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The equal sign with slash means that it is the unequal sign, i.e.,$\\neq$ . It is used when two expressions are not equal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: $5 \\neq 8$ means that 5 is not equal to 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"7-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1. <\/strong><strong>The product of two numbers a and b is exactly 12.
