an identity? maybe a tautology? Comment by mgately: In the field of discrete mathematics (simplified the study of logic) any expression which always evaluates to true is in fact called a tautology. While less cool sounding, an expression which always evaluates to false is just called a contradiction.
It's callled the "solution" of the equation.
No, it's the other way round - an equation that's true for every value of the variable(s) is called an identity. Of course, an identity is also an equation.
legal equation * * * * * In mathematics, it is called an identity.
True
Seems to me like if it's not always true, then it's no equation.
An equation that is always true is an identity.
Identity equation
No, it's not
They are called the "solutions" of the equation.
It is true for all permissible values of any variables in the equation. More simply put, it is always true.
Such an equation is called an IDENTITY.

not always but most of the time yes
That is called a solution.
