Having one solution in a mathematical equation means that there is only one unique value for the variable that satisfies the equation. This value makes the equation true when substituted back into it. In other words, there is only one specific answer that makes the equation balance or fulfill the given criteria. This is in contrast to having no solution, where the equation has no valid solution, or having infinitely many solutions, where the equation can be satisfied by multiple values.
