1/2x=4
That's the "solution" of the equation.
It depends on the form of the equation.
The number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation is called the solution or root of the equation. This number satisfies the equation when substituted for the variable. In algebra, finding the solution involves solving for the variable by performing various operations to isolate it on one side of the equation. The solution is the value that balances both sides of the equation, making it true.
a solution
Isolating a single variable in terms of the rest of the equation provides a solution to that variable. That is, if you know the equation that equals the variable, then you can figure out its value.
You solve the equation the same way as you would any other equation. Whether the variable is a fraction or otherwise will only become clear once you solve the equation. In other words, you don't initially KNOW whether the solution will be a fraction or not.
That's the "solution" of the equation.

A fraction.
It is called multiplication!
a solution
undefined means you can not do the operation (5/0 is undefined) no solution refers to an equation not having an answer. a solution is a number which you can plug into the variable of an equation and get a true statement. So having no solution means there is no number which you can plug in and get a true statement. As a fraction is not an equation, but an expression it is not right to say that 5/0 has no solution. There is no variable in 5/0, nothing to plug into to get a true or false statement.
That's the "solution" to the equation described by the sentence.
