
Equation: a mathematical sentence
that contains an equal sign.
Inequality: a mathematical
sentence that contains an
inequality symbol.
Solution: a number that makes the
sentence true.
To solve an
Equation/Inequality:

Isolate the variable!
Don't forget to flip the inequality symbol if you
multiply or divide by a negative
Always write the variable on the left when
finished with the problem.

3 Types of Solutions to Equations
1. The equation has ONE REAL solution
(which will be x = #)
2. The equation has ANY REAL NUMBER
as a solution
(which will be 0 = 0)
3. The equation has NO REAL solution
(which will be 0 = #)
