Answer:

[see below]

Explanation:

An equation is a mathematical statement that states that two expressions are equal. Equations have an equal sign.

An inequality is a mathematical statement that states that two expressions are greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to.

An expression is a combination of mathematical symbols that show the value of something. It does not have any inequality sign nor an equal sign.


(7)/(x)< 6 is an inequality. It has a less than sign.

3 - 2 is an expression. It does not have any inequality sign nor an equal sign.


4^2+8=9 is an equation. It includes an equal sign.

Hope this helps you.
