WHAT DOES OPEN SENTENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Open sentence

In mathematics, an open sentence is described as "open" in the sense that its truth value is meaningless until its variables are replaced with specific numbers, at which point the truth value can usually be determined. These possible replacement values are assumed to range over a subset of either the real or complex numbers, depending on the equation or inequality under consideration. The replacement values which produce a true equation or inequality are called solutions of the equation or inequality, and are said to "satisfy" it. In mathematical logic, a non-closed formula is a formula which contains free variables. Unlike closed formulas, which contain constants, non-closed formulas do not express propositions; they are neither true nor false. Hence, the formula is a number has no truth-value. A formula is said to be satisfied by any object such that if it is written in place of the variable, it will form a sentence expressing a true proposition. Hence, "5" satisfies. Any sentence which results from a formula in such a way is said to be a substitution instance of that formula.
