The name "functional equation" is used for problems where the goal is to find all functions satisfying the given equation (and maybe some other conditions). So in this case, solving the equation means finding all functions fulfilling the equation. (This is different from the more common use of the word equation, where the solutions are numbers.) For basic questions about functions use more suitable tags like (functions) or (elementary-set-theory).
