Example of an equation:

2x + 7 = 3y

Example of an inequality:

x < 0

An inequality is an expression. It doesn't have an equal sign, so you can't solve it.

Compare and contrast equations and inequalities?

Inequalities and equations are both the same because they are both mathematical expression and they both use the same steps EXCEPT for the end. Inequalities and equations are both different because equations have an equal sign, the answer is not an interval, and the answer is a specific answer. Not a range. While inequalities don't have an equal sign, its answer is an interval, and it's answer is in a range.
