equations have an = sign, inequalities do not
A system of equations can have any number of inequalities.
Inequalities are not reflexive. Inequalities are not commutative.
"What is the difference between inequalities and equations" is a question, not a statement. A question cannot be true or false. It can be pointless, or badly phrased or misguided but that is a different matter.
Somewhat, but the rules are a bit different for inequalities. Example. -2X > 4 X < - 2 See, sign changes when dividing by negative coefficient.
