Answer: when it is true but not reasonable.
Explanation: a solution can be algebraically correct (it satisfies the equations) yet not make sense in the real-world context — for example, a negative age, a fractional person, or an unreasonably large size. Such a solution is not viable even though it is mathematically true. (A false solution simply doesn't satisfy the equations; a positive and reasonable solution would be viable.)
