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.
The solution to x equals -8?
x = -8 already is a solution. If an equation has been changed until the value of x is found, and this value is accurate to the original equation, then the equation has been solved.
What is the solution to a linear equation?
The solution to a system on linear equations in nunknown variables are ordered n-tuples such that their values satisfy each of the equations in the system. There need not be a solution or there can be more than one solutions.
When we plot all the points that satisfy an equation or inequality what do we do?
We identify a set of points in the relevant space which are part of the solution set of the equation or inequality. The space may have any number of dimensions, the solution set may be contiguous or in discrete "blobs".
What are some steps after coming up with a solution?
If you mean for a math problem, after coming up with a solution you should usually check the solution in the original equation, to be safe.
