Answer:

Help verify values

Explanation:

I basically help prove that the value fits and verifies that equation or inequality. By substituting a value for the variable within the equation or inequality and then solving it as a regular expression it should correctly output the same value on the other side of the equation or make the inequality true. For example, using the following inequality...

3x + 2 > 4

We can substitute the variable x for 2 and solve the inequality, if the inequality is true then we know that the value 2 is a correct and verified value.

(3*2) + 2 > 4

6 + 2 > 4

8 > 4 ... True
