ViviThe solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
A number that makes an equation true is called a solution. In algebra, when you substitute a specific value for a variable in an equation and the equation holds true, that value is considered a solution to the equation. Solutions can be real numbers, complex numbers, or even variables themselves depending on the context of the equation.
If A is a number that makes an equation true, then A is a "solution" to the equation.

A number that makes an equation true?
A number that makes an equation true is a solution. If there is more than one answer to an equation (such as an equation like): (x-2)(x+4)=0 then it is called a solution set (and in this case would be x={-4, 2}).
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.
What is the value for a variable that makes an equation?
It's the value that when substituted in for the variable, makes the equation true. Ex: x + 1 = 3 The value 2, when substituted for the variable x, makes the equation true.
