When someone dies due to the fault of another person or entity (like a car manufacturer), the survivors may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. Such a lawsuit seeks compensation for the survivors' loss, such as lost wages from the deceased, lost companionship, and funeral expenses. Here's a primer on wrongful death claims -- what they are, who can sue, who can be sued, and what damages may be recovered.
Let's review what we've learned. We learned that the subtraction property of equality tells us that if we subtract from one side of an equation, we must also subtract from the other side of the equation to keep the equation the same. The formula for this property is if a = b, then a - c = b - c.
An inequality compares two values. 1  Inequality - A comparison of two values or expressions. For example, 10x < 50 is an inequality whereas x = 5 is an equation. 2  Equation - A statement declaring the equality of two expressions. For example, 4x = 8 is an equation whereas 10x > 20 is an inequality.
