In mathematics , an opensentence usually an equation or equality is described as open in the sense that its truth value is meaningless until its variables are replaced with specific numbers, at which point the truth value can usually be determined and hence the sentences are no longer regarded as open . These possible replacement values are assumed to range over a subset of either the real or complex numbers, depending on the equation or inequality under consideration in applications, real numbers are usually associated also with measurement units . The replacement values which produce a true equation or inequality are called solutions of the equation or inequality, and are said to satisfy it. In mathematical logic , a non closed formula is a formula mathematical logic formula which contains free variable s. Note that in logic, a sentence mathematical logic sentence is a formula without free variables, and a formula is open if it contains no quantifier s, which disagrees with the terminology of this article.
