In an equation and inequation there are always unknown
numbers that we have to figure out. What we can insert for this unknown
number is defined by the base quantity G.
For example, G =
, which means that for every x, y, z (or for every other
letter) natural numbers can be inserted.
In the inequation, different signs appear: bigger,
smaller, bigger or equal to, smaller or equal to. For more information
please look for the title “Bigger or Smaller” in “Fifth grade”.
To find the solution of an equation or inequation, we
have to look for numbers that we can insert in the place of the variable so
we become a product.
Example:
5 + (3 ∙
x) = 23
L (L means solution
set quantity) = {6}
x – (24 : 3) > 2
L = {11, 12, 13, …}
There is the possibility to change equations or
inequations by simplifying them without changing the solution set quantity.
This means that the solutions stays the same. That is how many equations and
inequations can be calculated. These changes are called equivalence
changes. There are differences between equations and inequations.
