The main difference is that when solving inequalities, if you multiply or divide by a negative number you have to be careful, since you then also have to switch the sign (for example, change a "less-than" sign to a "greater-than" sign). If you multiply or divide by an expression that contains a variable, you have to consider the two cases: that such an expression might be positive, or that it might be negative.

What are the differences and similaries between expressions and equations?

An expression is any combination of symbols that can be evaluated to a number (or perhaps to some other data type). An equation has an equal sign, and an expression on both sides of the equal sign - it is a claim that the two expressions are equal.
