Can equation and inequality have the same solution?
No, inequalities have more than, less then, at least, or no more than signs. Equations just have equal signs. An inequality answer can't be written as just a number it has to have a sign with it.
Do you only flip the inequality when you divide by a negative number?
Yes you do, you also flip the inequality sign if you multiply by a negative # The > and < signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.
Is it an inequality if a new and equivalent inequality can be created by changing the signs of both terms and reversing the sense?
It is still an inequality but not a new inequality. It will not alter the existence or non-existence of a solution to a system of linear equations / inequalities.
Can you provide me with an inequality problem that the value is the same?
Can you provide me with an inequality problem that the value is the same?
What is the difference between an expression and equation and an inequality?
simply put, an expression has no "equal to" sign (=). and equation has the "equal" to sign and and inequality has either one of these signs <, >
What are some signs of inequality?
Some signs of inequality may be physical or emotional differences.

How to do inequality?
It's the same thing as solving an equation, the minor difference is to change the inequality sign when the numbers change signs(i.e negative to positive to negative).

Yes you do, you also flip the inequality sign if you multiply by a negative # The > and < signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.
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 does inequality signs mean in math?
It is a statement that two numbers are NOT equal.
Why must you flip the inequality symbol when you divide by a negative number?
For the same reason you must flip it when you multiply by a negative number. An example should suffice. 2 < 3 If you multiply by -1, without switching the sign, you get: -2 < -3, which is wrong. Actually, -2 > -3. Look at a number line if you are not sure about this - numbers to the left are less than numbers further to the right. Dividing by a negative number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, which in this case is also negative. These signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.

Whats the definition of inequality?
An inequality is a relationship between two quantities that are not the same.
Is -5 a solution to this inequality x3?
"x3" is not an inequality. An inequality will have one of the following signs: less-than, less-than-or-equal, greater-than, greater-than-or-equal. for example: 3x - 5 < 15
