Equations are statements that state two expressions are equal, while inequalities are statements that state two expressions are not equal, meaning one is greater or less than the other.

The graph of the solution set of an equation is a line or a curve, while the graph of the solution set of an inequality is a region at one side of the boundary line or curve obtained by supposing that the inequality was an equation.

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.

How do you know if a system has one solution?

If the equations or inequalities have the same slope, they have no solution or infinite solutions. If the equations/inequalities have different slopes, the system has only one solution.


Can a system of equations have more than two inequalities?

How are word problems with equations different from word problems with expressions?

It may be possible to solve equations. Expressions cannot be solved until they are converted, with additional information, into equations or inequalities which may have solutions.
