How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation?
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)
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
With a formula, you know the variable's value, and you have to calculate the value of the function of it. With an equation, you know the function's value, and you have to calculate the value of the variable.
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 constant in a mathematical equation can be found by determining the value of the term that does not change across different values of the variable. This can be done by solving the equation for different values of the variable and isolating the term that remains the same.
