Want this question answered?
Statements in which the two sides are not equal are called inequalities.
A calculator can be used to proportions to answer a equation. This is easier to solve when having variables on both sides.
combining like terms or subtracting from both sides of the equation.
Equality. If they are ALWAYS equal then the equation is an identity.
Just keep doing the same thing to both sides of the equation at every step.

If an equation has two variables, we'll call them (x,y), the variables can be any value as long as both sides of the equation have the same result. If the equation was x = y, then the variables could be (1,1), (2,2), (3,3),etc...
In simple cases such as these, you can solve inequalities just like an equation. In this case, you add 3 to both sides.
Never. By definition, the two sides of an equation are equal.

I think its a property in which both sides of an equation are equal either by adding, subtracting, multiplication, or division.

Equal quantities may be added to both sides of a linear equation.
The variables may have different values.
Equation: A statement that asserts that two mathematical expressions are equal in value. If this is true for all values of the variables involved then it is called an identity, and where it is only true for some values it is called a conditional equation. Inequality: A statement that uses the symbols > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), ≤ ( less than or equal to) to indicate that one of the quantity is larger or smaller than another. An inequality holds for all values of the variables involved. If a statement that uses one of the symbols above holds only for some values of the variables involved then it is called an inequation. An inequality is comparable to an identity. If you'd want to put it into easier kid friendly words, an inequality is a statement where two sides of the inequality are not equal. Equations on the other hand, two sides should always be equal, no mater how messed up hard one side might look to you. Trust me I've been there.
