Question 323569
It's the same thing as determining if a value is a solution to an equation.


If your equation is x + 5 > 7 and you solve it to get x > 2, then any value of x > 2 should be a solution to the equation.


The only time when the same value is a solution to both the equality and the inequality is if the inequality is expressed as x+5 >= 7


Then the solution to this equation is x >= 2.


x = 2 solves the equality part of this equation.
x > 2 solves the inequality part of this equation.


If the equation is x > or x < then x = cannot be a solution to the pure inequality.


I'm presuming you are asking if:


x+5 > 7 gets x > 2 which is valid.


x+5 = 7 gets x > 2 as well?


Answer has to be no.
