In mathematics, an inequation is a statement that either an inequality (relations "greater than" and "less than", ) or a relation "not equal to" (≠) holds between two values. It is usually written in the form of a pair of expressions denoting the values in question, with a relational sign between the two sides, indicating the specific inequality relation.

In mathematics, an inequation is a statement that either an inequality (relations "greater than" and "less than", ) or a relation "not equal to" (≠) holds between two values. It is usually written in the form of a pair of expressions denoting the values in question, with a relational sign between the two sides, indicating the specific inequality relation. Some examples of inequations are: a x+y+z \leq 1 n > 1 x \neq 0
In some cases, the term "inequation" has a more restricted definition, reserved only for statements whose inequality relation is "not equal to" (or "distinct").
