Equationnoun

Equation
In mathematics, an equation is a statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, which are connected by the equals sign . The word equation and its cognates in other languages may have subtly different meanings; for example, in French an équation is defined as containing one or more variables, while in English, any equality is an equation.Solving an equation containing variables consists of determining which values of the variables make the equality true.
