 Consider the equation \[ 2x+5y=7.\]

-A [[solution]] of this equation will be a pair of numbers $(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^2$ so that if we replace $x$ with $a$ and replace $y$ with $b$, then the equation becomes true.
+A [[solution]] of this equation is a pair of numbers $(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^2$ so that if we replace $x$ with $a$ and replace $y$ with $b$, then the equation becomes true.
 In other words, so that $2a+5b$ really is equal to $7$.
