An equation has an answer that it just one number instead of like an infinite number. An inequality has an answer that could be less than, greater than, less than or equal to and greater than or equal to. An example would be, If I had $1,284 in my bank account and I wanted to buy a toy for all the kids in class, how many could I buy if they were $3.68 each. the answer would be 3.68x is less than or equal to 1,284 so x would be 348.9 and less
