Question 149496: How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality? How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? If you replace the equal sign of an equation and put an inequality sign in its place, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and inequality? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?
Replace the variable with the solution value to see if you get a true statement.

How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation?
It's the same.

If you replace the equal sign of an equation and put an inequality sign in its place, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and inequality?
Only if the inequality also included equality in the original statement.
