an open sentence is defined as one that contains "free variables," which are variable that have not been assigned a specific meaning. Because of this open sentences cannot be labeled as true or false, their status is "open. Any number that makes the open sentence true satisfies it. In general we would call these the solutions or solution set. I must state that there are many definitions in many books that all give slightly different answers to what an open sentence is.
