:::::By "___domain" I did not mean the [[___domain (mathematics)|___domain]] of a function, but the [[___domain of discourse]], which in this case happens to be a [[___domain (ring theory)|___domain]] in the sense of [[ring theory]]: the ring (and even [[field (mathematics)|field]]) of the [[real number]]s.  --[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 03:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 
:I like the initial example, but I agree that the wording could use revision to make it a bit less condescending and magical. Keep in mind that this page is targeted at a high school algebra audience, who are less likely to inspect an equation for nonsolutions up front (but it can still be formal in tone).
