1. How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality? 2. How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? 3. If you replace the equal sign of an equation with an inequality sign, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and the inequality?
1. I understand that if you substitute the value for the variable and then solve to see if the statement is true or false; if the statement is true then the value is a solution for an equality, does this sound right?
2. I do not believe that this is different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation.
3. I am saying yes; but only if the inequality sign is greater than/equal to or less than/equal to, not < or >. Is this correct?
4. Can you assist me in writing an inequality and provide a value that may or may not be a solution to the inequality? If not I understand, I am trying really hard to understand all of this on my own and it is not easy, but I am doing it day by day. Thanks for any assistance!
