Depends on the type of math problem. there's usually an equation to see if there is a solution or not.
Yes and sometimes it can have more than one solution.
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}.
You have one equation in two unknowns. There is no solution possible without a second (independent) equation in the same two unknowns.
An algebraic equation has (at least one) variable, usually called x. To solve the equation means to figure out the value of x. For example, in the equation x + 4 = 7 the solution is x = 3, because 3 + 4 = 7.
