Question 177623
ok first off.. if it is a Linear equation then it is always = . example. x+y=0
there is no way it can be changed in to an inequality. example. x+y<0

if it an EQUATION it is always =
if it is an INEQUALITY it is <, >, < or = to (< with a line under it), > or = to(> with a line under it). An inequalit can never just be =

i really hope this helps you
