Grammar
expressing a math equation
such as x=3y+1. Now do I say "x equals to..." or "x equals..." or "x is equal (to or without to?)"? I haven't paid enough attention when people express math equations, so I'm not sure which one(s) are correct or used more than the others. Thank you.

" Note the form here is "equal" no "s" followed by "to" -- here equal is an adjective. " Note the form here is "equals" with an "s" but no "to" -- here equals is a verb.
