What is an equation?

Back

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, typically containing variables and constants, and is often represented with an equal sign (e.g., x + 2 = 5).

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, or not equal to the other, using symbols like >, <, ≥, or ≤.

What does it mean for an inequality to be true?

Back

An inequality is true if the values of the variables satisfy the condition of the inequality, meaning one side is greater than or less than the other.

Front

How do you solve the inequality m + 5 < 6?

Back

To solve for m, subtract 5 from both sides: m < 6 - 5, so m < 1.
