1/2x=4
That's the "solution" of the equation.
It depends on the form of the equation.
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.
It is an equation in a single variable, x.And, although the question does not ask, the solution is x = 5.It is an equation in a single variable, x.And, although the question does not ask, the solution is x = 5.It is an equation in a single variable, x.And, although the question does not ask, the solution is x = 5.It is an equation in a single variable, x.And, although the question does not ask, the solution is x = 5.
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.
It depends on the form of the equation.
A fraction.
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.
It is called multiplication!
That's the "solution" to the equation described by the sentence.
