An Open Sentence (in Math)
is a math equation
that contains a variable.

Remember:
A "variable" is a number that has yet to be decided.

Examples:

y
is the variable

3
would make the sentence true.

        Remember:

An Open Sentence
is a math equation
that contains a variable,
and lacks information to make the sentence true.
