What is the difference between 'greater than' and 'greater than or equal to'?

Back

'Greater than' (>) means one value is strictly larger than another, while 'greater than or equal to' (≥) includes the possibility of equality.

Front

What does it mean if an inequality has no solution?

Back

It means that there are no values that satisfy the inequality.
