Somewhat, but the rules are a bit different for inequalities. Example.
-2X > 4
X < - 2
See, sign changes when dividing by negative coefficient.
Linear inequalities and linear equations are similar in that both involve linear expressions and use the same variables in a linear format. They can be represented graphically, where linear equations depict straight lines, while linear inequalities represent regions of the coordinate plane. Additionally, both types of mathematical statements can be solved using similar algebraic techniques, though solutions for inequalities often involve ranges of values rather than specific points. Ultimately, they both express relationships between variables, but inequalities include a relational aspect (greater than or less than) that equations do not.
Algebraic inequalities can be solved in the same fashion as algebraic equations. The goal here, as in algebraic equations, is to isolate the variable. The one thing to remember, however, is that when dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative number, one must switch the inequality sign.
Yes.
They are called simultaneous equations.
Yes
They are not. An inequality cannot, by definition, be the same as an equation.

Basically. If the inequality's sign is < or ≤, then you shade the part under the line. If the inequality's sign is > or ≥, then you shade the part over the line.
A system of linear equations is two or more simultaneous linear equations. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
Solving inequalities and equations are the same because both have variables in the equation.
A linear system is a set of equations involving multiple variables that can be solved simultaneously. These equations are linear, meaning they involve only variables raised to the first power and do not have any exponents or other non-linear terms. Solving a linear system involves finding values for the variables that satisfy all of the equations in the system at the same time. This process is often done using methods such as substitution, elimination, or matrix operations.

Linear Algebra is a branch of mathematics that enables you to solve many linear equations at the same time. For example, if you had 15 lines (linear equations) and wanted to know if there was a point where they all intersected, you would use Linear Algebra to solve that question. Linear Algebra uses matrices to solve these large systems of equations.
Although there are similarities, the solutions to a linear equation comprise all points on one line: a one-dimensional object. The solutions to a linear inequality comprise all points on one side [or the other] of a line: a two-dimensional object.
