Explain the differences between properties of equality and properties of inequality when solving equations and inequalities.

Equalities will have the words "is" or "equals" or "the same as" in the wording. These produce a unique solution.

Inequalities have phrases like "at most" or "at least" or "no more than" in them. Solutions are a range of values, ranging between 2 values, or from a particular value to positive or negative infinity.
