Compound inequalities There are 2 types of compound inequalities AND OR
2 < x + 5 < < x <
-7 < -2m + 1< 3 -8 < -2m < > m > < m < 4 Why did the inequality symbols switch? With any compound inequality they must be written with the least value always on the left Which means the whole Inequality has to be reversed
2x x < 6 22 x < x > x > 6 X 6 3 6
5x – 3 > 17 or 4x + 1 < x > x > 4 4x < x < -1 X 4 4 X > 4 OR x < -1 REMEMBER With any compound inequality they must be written with the least value always on the left
