This is an oxymoron, since equations show equalvalues, while inequalities show unequal values.

An equation will be of the form 2x = 4 or y = 3x +1

An inequality states that two values differ rather than providing an exact value:

x > 2 (x is greater than 2)

y < 2x-1 (y is less than 2x minus 1)

a ≠ b (a is not equal to b)

However, an inequality can state an upper or lower bound for a value as

x ≤ 6 or x<=6 means that x is less than or equal to 6
