The solution of an equation means the number that the variable must be
in order to make the equation a true statement. If the variable has any
other value, then the equation is not true.
For example, here's an equation:
x - 4 = 2
Can '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.

What does it mean to be a solution to an equation?
A solution to an equation is a set of values for the variables in the equation which make it true.
Which number belongs to the solution set of the equation 8x120?
If you mean: 8x = 120 then the value of x is 15
How do you know when a number is not a solution of an equation?
When you put the number in place of the variable (like maybe the 'x' or the 'y') wherever the variable occurs in the equation, and the statement you get out of all the numbers you have is not true, then you know the number is not a solution.
Is the solution to an equation any number that makes the equation true?
not always but most of the time yes
How do you determine if a number is a solution of an equation?
plug your answer it to the original question
A number that produces a true statement when substituted?
I assume you mean, in an equation. Such a number is called a "solution" or a "root" of the equation.
If an equation has a negative number is the solution acidic?
No, having a negative number in an equation does not necessarily mean the solution is acidic. The acidity or basicity of a solution is determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-) present, not by the sign of a number in an equation.
Explain how you an determine if the number is a solution of an equation?
Substitute the number in the equation. If the resulting statement is true the number is a solution to the equation.
What is A number that makes a equation true?
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
What does it mean to be a solution to an equation?
A solution to an equation is a set of values for the variables in the equation which make it true.
A value that makes an equation true?
Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution
Number that makes an equation true?
A number that makes an equation true is its solution.
What is the word for a number that makes an equation true?
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.
What does it mean when an equation has no solution?
It means that the equation has no way of working it out / There is no answer.
What does no solution mean in algebra?
An equation can have zero solutions, one solution, two solutions, or many solutions. A solution is any number that, when replaced into the equation, will give an equality. An example of an equation without a solution is x = x + 1. No matter what number you use for "x", the right part will always be one more than the left part. Therefore, the equation has no solution. (Also, if you subtract "x" from each side, you get the equation 0 = 1, which is obviously false.)
What is the number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation?
The number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation is called the solution or root of the equation. This number satisfies the equation when substituted for the variable. In algebra, finding the solution involves solving for the variable by performing various operations to isolate it on one side of the equation. The solution is the value that balances both sides of the equation, making it true.
Which number belongs to the solution set of the equation 8x120?
If you mean: 8x = 120 then the value of x is 15
