Integer solutions

Integer solutions refer to the whole number answers to mathematical equations. For example, in a problem like \(x + 2 = 5\), the integer solution is \(x = 3\) because 3 is a whole number. These solutions are important in various applications, such as computer science, optimization, and number theory, where finding exact whole number values is necessary. Problems may require determining all or specific integer solutions, often using techniques like factoring or graphing, and they play a crucial role in understanding and solving real-world scenarios that can be represented mathematically.
