Yes and sometimes it can have more than one solution.
An equation may have no solution, one solution, two solutions, etc., or even infinite solutions. An example of an equation without a solution is:x = x + 1
In algebraic terms, the solution is the answer to equation.
Extraneous solution
If this value a satisfy the equation, then a is a solution for that equation. ( or we can say that for the value a the equation is true)
A solution to an equation is a set of values for the variables in the equation which make it true.
X4.3 is not likely to be the solution of a normal equation.
a solution to an equation is the answer
A solution is the answer to an equation.
An equation that has no solution is called an equation that has no solution.
Every equation has a solution.
In algebraic terms, the solution is the answer to equation.
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
Extraneous solution
If this value a satisfy the equation, then a is a solution for that equation. ( or we can say that for the value a the equation is true)
y = -2.5 is a equation. And solution to the equation is finding the value of the variable. If we see the equation y is already equal to -2.5 which is the solution to the equation.
A solution to an equation is a set of values for the variables in the equation which make it true.
X4.3 is not likely to be the solution of a normal equation.
Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution
