The 'solution' of an equation is the number which, when substitutedfor the variable, makes the equation a true statement.You have said: [ x = 5 ] .We claim that the solution is '5', because when '5' is substituted for 'x',the equation reads5 = 5and that's a true statement.
undefined means you can not do the operation (5/0 is undefined) no solution refers to an equation not having an answer. a solution is a number which you can plug into the variable of an equation and get a true statement. So having no solution means there is no number which you can plug in and get a true statement. As a fraction is not an equation, but an expression it is not right to say that 5/0 has no solution. There is no variable in 5/0, nothing to plug into to get a true or false statement.
n-5 is an expression, it cannot be a solution. Furthermore, there are infinitely many possible equations for which n = 5 could be a solution - even with the added requirements of the question.
The solution of an equation means the number that the variable must bein order to make the equation a true statement. If the variable has anyother value, then the equation is not true.For example, here's an equation:x - 4 = 2Can 'x' be 5 ? If it is, then 5-4=2. That's not true, so 'x' can't be 5.Can 'x' be 9 ? If it is, then 9-4=2. That's not true, so 'x' can't be 9.Can 'x' be 6 ? If it is, then 6-4=2. That's true. So '6' is the solution to the equation.
Let's call the number "x". The given equation can be translated as: x * 3 = 2 * (x + 5). Simplifying the equation, we have: 3x = 2x + 10. Subtracting 2x from both sides gives: x = 10. So the solution to the equation is x = 10.
Substitute the value found back into the equation, evaluate the expressions and see if the resulting equation is true.
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.

Substitute the number in the equation. If the resulting statement is true the number is a solution to the equation.

Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution
A number that makes an equation true is its solution.
Solution. A solution of an equation is a number that satisfy the equation. This means that if you replace this number on the equation and check it, the equation will be true. When you solve an equation you can find some roots, but not all of them satisfy the equation. Thus always check your answers after resolving your equation, and eliminate as solution the answers that don't make the equation true or undefined.
On the list that accompanies the question, there is no equation with that solution.
9 - 4 = 5
An algebraic equation or inequality can have a solution, an algebraic expression cannot. If substituting a number in place of a variable results in the equation or inequality being a true statement, then that number is a solution of the equation or inequality.
n-5 is an expression, it cannot be a solution. Furthermore, there are infinitely many possible equations for which n = 5 could be a solution - even with the added requirements of the question.
