Definition
An inequality is a statement comparing two expressions using <, >, ≤, or ≥, often with many solutions.
Examples
- x > 3 has many solutions.
- 2x + 1 ≤ 9 is an inequality.
Key rule
An inequality usually has a range of solutions, not just one.
Memory hook
Inequality is not equal − it compares instead.
