Linear Inequalities

Linear inequalities are mathematical expressions that describe a relationship between two values where one value is not strictly equal to another. Instead of using an equal sign ("="), they use symbols like "<" (less than), ">" (greater than), "≤" (less than or equal to), or "≥" (greater than or equal to). For example, the inequality "x < 5" indicates that x can be any number less than 5. Linear inequalities can represent ranges of solutions on a number line or graph, helping to visualize constraints or limits in various real-world situations, such as budgeting or resource allocation.
