An equation consists of an equal sign, and an expression on each side of it. The equal sign states that the two parts are equal. Examples:
3 = 3
4 = 5
x + 1 = 7
(The first is true, the second is false, the truth of the third one depends on the value assigned to "x"; but all three are equations.)
An inequality is similar, but the equal sign is replaced by one of the following signs: less-than, less-than-or-equal, greater-than, greater-than or equal.

Can a system of equations have more than two inequalities?
A system of equations can have any number of inequalities.
What are the two rules for inequalities which do not occur in equations?
Inequalities are not reflexive. Inequalities are not commutative.
How are equations and inequalities different?
Equations have and can only have a = Inequalities have <, >, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, or =
How can you use coordinate graphs to solve linear equations and linear inequalities?
To solve it by coordinate graphs you would take a point from the line and plug in the X and Y value into the equations and or inequalities.
