The answer is (-8,8)
If this value a satisfy the equation, then a is a solution for that equation. ( or we can say that for the value a the equation is true)
How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation?
That's the "solution" of the equation.
It is the solution of the given equation.
Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution
For a value to be a solution to an equation, when you substitute the value for the variable, the equation becomes true. 4+B=6 B is the variable. 2 is the solution Substitute 2 for B 4+2=6 The equation is true.
Such a value is said to be a solution, or a root, of the equation.
a solution
That's the "solution" to the equation described by the sentence.
Such a value is called a "solution" or "root" of an equation.
solution
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
