question 1
what is meant by the terms solution and solution set? pick the two correct answers.
a solution is value that makes a mathematical equation true.
a solution set contains all of the solutions.
a solution is any answer to a math question.
a solution set consists of any solution.

Explanation:

• For the first option: In mathematics, a solution to an equation is a value (or set of values) that, when substituted into the equation, makes it a true statement. So "A solution is a value that makes a mathematical equation true" is correct.
• For the second option: A solution set is defined as the set that contains all the solutions (all the values that satisfy the equation). So "A solution set contains all of the solutions" is correct.
• The third option is incorrect because a solution is not just any answer to a math question, it has to satisfy the equation.
• The fourth option is incorrect because a solution set is not just any single solution, but all solutions.

Answer:

A. A solution is a value that makes a mathematical equation true.
B. A solution set contains all of the solutions.
