What does a inequality mean?

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and indicates that one is greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to the other. It uses symbols such as > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), and ≤ (less than or equal to). Inequalities can represent a range of values and are often used in various fields, including algebra, economics, and statistics, to analyze relationships and constraints. They help in understanding solutions that satisfy certain conditions rather than exact values.
