Finding Solutions to Equations and Inequalities

What is a key difference between solving linear inequalities and linear equations in one variable?

• Linear equations can have more than one solution, while inequalities cannot.

• Linear inequalities require checking the solution by substituting back into the original inequality.

• Linear inequalities require flipping the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

• Linear equations require graphing the solution on a number line.

• The solution is a range of values.

• The solution is a single value.

• The solution requires flipping the equation sign.

• The solution is represented by an inequality.
