Solution Set
A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables x1, x2, ..., xn such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set.
A linear system may behave in any one of three possible ways:
- The system has infinitely many solutions.
- The system has a single unique solution.
- The system has no solution.

Famous quotes containing the words solution and/or set:
“Let us begin to understand the argument.
There is a solution to everything: Science.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another—and always into a better set—things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. The future is worse than the ocean—there is nothing there. It will be what men and circumstances make it.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
