The document differentiates between equations and inequalities. It defines an equation as a mathematical sentence indicating two expressions are equal, represented by the equal sign "=". An inequality is a sentence where two expressions are not equal, represented by relation symbols like <, >, ≤, ≥, ≠. Examples are provided of equations and inequalities, and readers are asked to identify which is which.
