Understanding One-Step Inequalities

What is the main difference between solving equations and inequalities?

• Inequalities are always greater than equations.

• Both have the same number of solutions.

• Equations have one solution, while inequalities have multiple.

• Equations have multiple solutions, while inequalities have one.
