Question

How is an inequality different from an equation? Give a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than an equation.

I don't know how to solve this or what the answer is. Please help!

Answer 1

An equation show two equal entities. An inequality shows that one is larger than the other.

An example of an inequality:

Denise has $50 and wants to buy two new shirts. She needs to know how the average price she'll need to pay so that she doesn't exceed her $50.

2n < 50
