Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.

Example:

4+5x=24

First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.

4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20

Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.

1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4

You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.
