If x is an integer, which of the following is not an equation?

  1. x2 + 2x + 3 = 0

  2. x2 – 3 =2

  3. x = 2

  4. x2 + 3 > 2

The correct answer is: x2 + 3 > 2

An equation is a mathematical statement that uses an equal sign to show that two expressions are equal. Option A, B and C all contain equal signs and thus are considered equations. However, in option D, the greater than sign (>), is used to show an inequality rather than an equation. Therefore, option D is not an equation.
