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.
