Question

How does the solution to an inequality differ from the solution to an equation?

Answer 1

the solution to and equation is one or maybe several numbers
the solution to an inequality is an infinite number of numbers
usually one or more intervals

Answer 2

for example if \(x+3=7\) then \(x=4\) one number
but if \(x+3<7\) then \(x<4\) any number less than 4

Answer 3

Usually an inequality has a variety of answers, whereas an equation has a finite number of solutions.
