Reflexivity: for every a, one has a = a.; Symmetry: for every a and b, if a = b, then b = a.; Transitivity: for every a, b, and c, if a = b and b = c, then a = c. [7] [8]Substitution: Informally, this just means that if a = b, then a can replace b in any mathematical expression or formula without changing its meaning.
The solution set for the equations x − y = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]
The first use of an equals sign, equivalent to 14x + 15 = 71 in modern notation. From The Whetstone of Witte by Robert Recorde of Wales (1557). [1]In mathematics, an equation is a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.
An example of a more complicated (although small enough to be written here) solution is the unique real root of x 5 − 5x + 12 = 0. Let a = √ 2φ −1, b = √ 2φ, and c = 4 √ 5, where φ = 1+ √ 5 / 2 is the golden ratio. Then the only real solution x = −1.84208... is given by
