Yes, that term is used in math. Consider an equation; I'll use a simple one:

2x = 14

This is a statement about the equality of the two sides; it is stated that 2, multiplied by "x", is equal to 14. Depending on the value of "x", this statement can be true, or false. In this case, if you replace "x" with 7, the statement is true; if you replace it by any other value, it is NOT true.

The equation is said to be "satisfied" by any value which, when replaced for the variable, converts it into a true statement - in this case, 7.
