a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).
That is called an equation. An equation has an equal sign (=), and expressions on both sides of the equal sign.
It can be just one more variable. In calculus, both delta and epsilon are used for quantities that can assume arbitrarily small values.
An equation is a mathematical statement that may (or may not) be true, defined for some variables. Solving an equation is finding those values of the variables for which the equation or statement is true.
It is a set of values for the variable or variables in the equation such that, when those values are put into the equation, the resulting mathematical statement is true. The term can also refer to the process of finding a solution.
