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.
Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution
If you mean 5x = 140 then the value of x is 140/5 = 28
Such a value is said to be a solution, or a root, of the equation.
In algebra, one solution means that there is only one real value x that will satisfy its equation.
If you mean: 3x-9 = 12 then the value of x is 7
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?
If you mean: 9n = 3 then the value of n is 1/3 which is the solution to the equation
what the solution to this equation x+15=28 If you mean: x+15 = 28 then the value of x works out as 13
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
If you mean 5x = 140 then the value of x is 140/5 = 28
Such a value is said to be a solution, or a root, of the equation.
In algebra, one solution means that there is only one real value x that will satisfy its equation.
a solution
That's the "solution" to the equation described by the sentence.
