1. either inequality true
Solving Compound Inequalities Containing “OR”
Compound Inequality:
Solutions of Compound Inequalities joined by “OR”:
You can write “all real numbers that are less than -3 or greater than 4” as:
The graph shows that everything graphed
is a solution to the inequality!
Write the compound inequality that represents each situation. Then graph it to show the solutions.
1. All real numbers that are Discounted fares are available to children 12 and under
at most -5 or at least or to adults at least 60 years of age.
Two inequalities that are joined by the word “and” or the word “or”
Any number that makes
either inequality true

2. Solve each inequality separately
To solve compound inequalities joined by “OR” you must:
Examples: Solve the compound inequality and graph your solution.
Solve each inequality separately
