Question

How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality? How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? If you replace the equal sign of an equation and put an inequality sign in its place, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and inequality? Write an inequality and provide a value that may or may not be a solution to the inequality.

Answer 1

The only difference in solving an inequality and an equation is when you multiply or divide both sides by negative numbers. Then it reverses the direction of the carat.

> = more than
< = less than

Your last sentence does not make sense to me. Are there typos?
