什么是 Equation?

Definition 57.4 Primary & Middle School Mathematics · 第 57 章 — Literal Calculation and Equations

An equation is an equality with an unknown number, written xx (or any letter). Solving it means finding all the values of xx making the equality true — the solutions.

An equation is a balanced scale: whatever is done to one pan must be done to the other, and the balance — the equality — survives.

示例

Example 57.12

Solve 5−2x≤115 - 2x \leq 11: subtract 55 on both sides, −2x≤6-2x \leq 6; divide by −2-2 and reverse: x≥−3x \geq -3. All the numbers greater than or equal to −3-3 are solutions — an equation usually has one solution, an inequality has a whole half-line of them.
