What is the purpose of having have inequalities x equals 0 and y equals 0 as two of the constraints in an application?

You cannot, since "x equals 0" and "y equals 0" are NOT inequalities!
If x and y are counts of things, or measures (such as length) which must be positive then the reason for such constraints should be obvious.

What is an inequality that equals two?
Inequalities don't equal anything.
What is 5x-6y equals 16 5x plus y equals 2 in linear equations and inequalities?
The question contains two equations:5x - 6y = 15 5x + y = 2 There are no inequalities in the question.
What has numbers and operations signs but no equals signs?
An expression, or, more pedantically, inequalities.
What property of inequality would you use to solve the equation 14x equals 35?
None. Properties of inequalities are not that relevant when solving equalities.
What are the similarities of equation and inequalities?
They both: - have variables, - are open sentences, - consist of two expressions joined by a "verb" (equals or inequality sign), - have solution sets (which may be empty or have one or more elements).
What are the symbol for inequalities?
"≠" is not equals.

What can you infer when you end up with a solution of x equals 0?
You infer that the value of x, which satisfies the equations or inequalities, is zero!

None. Properties of inequalities are not that relevant when solving equalities.
What is the meaning of brackets or parenthesis when solving inequalities?
round brackets '()' represents > or < i.e. 'greater than' or 'less than' square brackets '[]' represents >= or
How many cups of all purpose flour equals 2.5 kgs of all purpose flour?
About 22 cups

What is a mathematical phrase that has numbers and operation signs but no equals sign?
if there are no comparison signs (equals or inequalities, ie =, >, < etc) then it is an expression, eg "x + 5" If there is a comparison sign which is not equals, then it is an inequality, eg "x > 5"
What is one important difference between solving equations and solving inequalities?
One important difference between solving equations and solving inequalities is that when you multiply or divide by a negative number, then the direction of the inequality must be reversed, i.e. "less than" becomes "greater than", and "less than or equal to" becomes "greater than or equal to".Actually, from a purist's sense, the reversal rule also applies with equations. Its just that the reversal of "equals" is still "equals". The same goes for "not equal to".
Can zero equals infinity at certain condition?
No, but incorrect application of mathematics can make it look like it does.
