How can I send messages from my iPad to non Apple devices
My iPhone is not working. I can’t send messages to non Apple phones. How does an iPad send a message to Android. 3 different long messages with Apple support on chat and nowhere.

You must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone. Both your iPad and iPhone must be signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
