Would you consider x^n * y^n ± z^n (where x=2, y=3 and z=5) an equation, formula
or expression?

Note the absence of an equal sign.

However, when you populate the "formula" (if that's what it is) it decidedly
becomes an equality viz. equation, e.g., 2^3 * 3^2 - 5 = 67

(all integers in the set of natural numbers not divisible by 2, 3 and 5 can be
generated with this "formula") (ref: www.primesdemystified.com )
