What do you call the number that replaces a variable to make an equation?
The number that replaces a variable is the solution to the equation. great question, but it's only the answer.??
How do you know when a number is not a solution of an equation?
When you put the number in place of the variable (like maybe the 'x' or the 'y') wherever the variable occurs in the equation, and the statement you get out of all the numbers you have is not true, then you know the number is not a solution.
What is the number that can replace a variable?
Answer 1 == In an open sentence (an equation or inequality with a variable in it), when a number replacing the variable makes the sentence true, then it is a solution.
Does an equation have one true solution?
-- If the equation has only one variable (like 'x' or 'y'), and the only power of the variable anywhere in the equation is '1', then the equation has one solution. -- If the variable appears raised to powers higher than '1', then there are as many solutions as the highest power of the variable. -- If the equation has two or more variables, then there are an infinite number of solutions.
What is the difference between no solution and undefined?
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.
What is the number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true 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.

What is a number that can replace a variable to make an equation true?
solution
A number that you can substitute for the variable to make the equation true?
A solution!

What is a number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it true called?
It's called the "solution" of the equation.
What is the number that can replace a variable?
Answer 1 == In an open sentence (an equation or inequality with a variable in it), when a number replacing the variable makes the sentence true, then it is a solution.
How do you determine whether a number is a solution of an equation?
Substitute the value found back into the equation, evaluate the expressions and see if the resulting equation is true.
When can you say that a number is called a solution in algebraic expression?
An algebraic equation or inequality can have a solution, an algebraic expression cannot. If substituting a number in place of a variable results in the equation or inequality being a true statement, then that number is a solution of the equation or inequality.
Does an equation have one true solution?
-- If the equation has only one variable (like 'x' or 'y'), and the only power of the variable anywhere in the equation is '1', then the equation has one solution. -- If the variable appears raised to powers higher than '1', then there are as many solutions as the highest power of the variable. -- If the equation has two or more variables, then there are an infinite number of solutions.
Why do we represent the solution to an inequality with a graph on a number line but we don't do the same for the solution to an equation?
An equation has an equal sign, which means that we know what the variable is equal to :)
What is the value of a variable that makes an equation true?
That's the "solution" of the equation.
