Philosophical Thought for the Day:
Solutions and Answers are not the same things.
Solutions and Answers are not the same things.
- Put one way, a solution is a way to find an answer.
- Or, a solution is a method of fixing a problem. Whereas an answer is a response to a question.
- Another way to think about it is a solution explains "how." An answer explains "why."
- In mathematics, an equation can have multiple solutions that, when substituted for variables in the equation, make the statement true. But not every solution provides the correct answer to a given problem.
