A compound inequality is two or more inequalities considered together. There are two types of compound inequalities: conjunctions and disjunctions. These compound inequalities will have two numbers involved in it and will define whether x is <, ≤, >,≥ to two DIFFERENT numbers. A regular inequality involves a single number.

Compound inequalities: 1. x ≤ 5 or x ≥ 10 2. -2 ≤ x < 1 3. -12 ≤ 3-5x <23 4. 2-x < -1 or 3x-7 > 8

Regular inequalities: 1. x < 8 2. -5x ≥ 15 3. x-4 > 10 4. -8x ≤ 64 Sara Hyman
