Verify a Solution Check a Solution
The process of making sure a solution is correct by making sure it satisfies any and all equations and/or inequalities in a problem.
Verify that x = 3 is a solution of the equation x2 – 5x + 6 = 0.
To do this, substitute x = 3 into the equation.
32 – 5·3 + 6 = 0? 9 – 15 + 6 = 0? 0 = 0 confirmed
