Step-by-step explanation

When two expressions are not equivalent, you can use an inequality symbol


\begin{gathered} \leq\Rightarrow less\text{ or equal } \\ \ge\Rightarrow greater\text{ or equal } \\ >\Rightarrow greater\text{ than } \\ <\Rightarrow smaller\text{ than} \end{gathered}

now, when comparing two expressions that are equivalent , WE CAN NOT USE an inequality simbol, instead of we need to use The equals sign or equal sign formerly known as the equality sign


=

for example


3x+19x=30x-8x

the = symbold indicates that both sides have the same value ( rigth and left)

I hope this helps you
