You can  put this solution on YOUR website! How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality? How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation?  
------- 
In both cases, a solution means a value of the variable (or the variables) 
which, when substituted for the variable(s), gives a true statement. 
--- 
If you substitute your "solution" for the variable and get a  
false statement, you know your "solution" is really not a solution.
