Identity.
solution
A variable.
They comprise a set of values for some variable x.
the set of all values which, when substituted for unknowns, make an equation true. this is wrong
Symbols used to represent unspecified numbers or values.
They are called the "solutions" of the equation.
Find values for the variable that satisfy the equation, that is if you replace those values for the variable into the original equation, the equation becomes a true statement.
When an equation has a variable in it (only one), then there are only certainvalues the variable can have that will make the equation a true statement."Solving" the equation means finding those values for the variable.
You substitute the value of the variable into the equation and simplify. If the rsult is a true statement then that value of the variable really does satisfy the equation.
It is the solution; sometimes also called the root.
The goal is to find what value or values the variable may have, to make the equation true.
The solution to an equation consists of the value (or values) of all the variables such that the equation is true when the variable(s) take those values.
It is finding the values of the variable that make the quadratic equation true.
"Solve an equation" means "find out, for which values of the variable or variables is the equation true".
An identity is a special type of literal equation. It is true for all values of the variable.
It is, in fact, an identity - which is an equation which is true for all values of the variable.
if you solve by plugging in the known values ahead of time you won't have a general formula for the variable in the literal equation. Therefor if the known values change, you would have to start all over again, making each problem more individualized. Once the literal equation is solved for some variable, if the known values change all you have to do is plug in those new numbers to your literal equation, and out pops your answer
