An equation is a statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, which are connected by the equals sign =. Solving an equation containing variables consists of determining which values of the variables make the equality true. The variables for which the equation has to be solved are also called unknowns, and the values of the unknowns that satisfy the equality are called solutions of the equation.Number of problems found: 4215
