Question 285556: Can you replace an equal sign with an inequality sign that would make the value a solution for both the equation and the inequality? Example 6+5≤11

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In your example, 6 + 5 <= 11 is that equation.

You get 11 <= 11 which is true.

It's not smaller than, but it is equal to.

<= means smaller than OR equal to so the equation is valid.

It does not have to be smaller than AND equal to.

That is not possible.
