It means a listing of every solution to an equation.

Example 1: 3x + 1 = 10. Solution set: x is an element of the set {3}. That means there is just one solution. If you replace "x" in the original equation with "3", you get a true statement; if you replace it with anything else, you don't.

Example 2: x2 = 25. Solution set: x is an element of the set {5, -5}.
