An equation is true for all values of its variables.

Question

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)

An equation is true for all values of its variables.

Answer 1

False

An equation is a statement of equality between two quantities or algebraic expressions. Most algebraic equations are TRUE when certain values are substituted for the variable (such as x) and are FALSE for all other values. The values that make equations TRUE are called "solutions". So, an equation is not necessarily true for all values of its variables.
