I do not really see the point of the tag which was added in this revision of:

Q: Show that the equation $\sqrt{ax+\alpha}+\sqrt{bx+\beta}+\sqrt{cx+\gamma}=0$ reduces to a simple equation.

THE LONE WOLF.I have got a question which looks like follow: Show that the equation $\sqrt{ax+\alpha}+\sqrt{bx+\beta}+\sqrt{cx+\gamma}=0$ reduces to a simple equation if $\sqrt{a}\pm\sqrt{b}\pm\sqrt{c}=0$. I am totally confused and don't even know from where should I start. Side note: I don't know what ...

I have removed the tag. (Of course, if this leads to some kind of edit war, I will bring up the issue on meta.
There are some books called theory of equations or theory of algebraic equations. And there is Wikipedia article:
In algebra, the theory of equations is the analysis of the nature and algebraic solutions of algebraic equations (also called polynomial equations), which are equations defined by a polynomial. The term "theory of equations" is mainly used in the context of the history of mathematics. == History == Until the end of 19th century, "theory of equations" was almost synonymous with "algebra". For a long time, the main problem was to find the solutions of a single non-linear equation in a single unknown. The fact that a complex solution always exists is the fundamental theorem of algebra, which...
But looking at those it seems that the most frequent meaning is what tag is for.
If we had to discuss every new tag on meta, maybe we would have tag-related post on meta once in about one in each two days...?

@MartinSleziak thank you for the pointer. From a quick look I am mostly fine with those. I think I should distinguish between broad and specific tags in my reasoning. I see no problem with mapping some things into directly more general tags, especially not when they are somewhat general to begin with.
What worries me are changes that I feel modify the connotation.
I might try to articulate this more clearly later.
