Identifying Equal or Unequal
Number Sequences
An equation is a number sentence that says both sides of the = sign are equal
or the same.
For example, 6 1 3 5 9 is an equation because both sides are equal.
An inequality is a number sentence that says two sides are not equal.
For example, 7 1 3  9 and 5 1 3  9.
To find which symbol to use to compare the expressions, add or subtract on
each side.
