What do you call a relation between two unknowns?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I know that in mathematics, the relation a = 2b is called an equation.
Is the relation a > 2b is still called an equation or is it called something else?

The example you give, a > 2b, is called an inequality.
In my grade-school math classes we used the term "inequality" to refer even to expressions like a ≥ 2b; language can be messy sometimes.
Equations, inequalities, and expressions like a ∈ ℚ and "b is prime" are all constraints.

Your question seems to me to provide its own answer. The word relation is often used in this context, it avoids needless debate about whether a ≥ 2b is an inequality or not, and if anyone wants to know exactly what kind of relation they need only look at the mathematical notation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "relation" refer to the result of the constrainta ≥ 2b, and not the constraint itself?

@JohnWu I am not quite sure what you mean by the result in this context. Certainly in the kind of papers and books I read relation has the meaning I have suggested in my answer.
