About Compound Inequalities:
A compound inequality is an inequality that is linked with a connective word such as 'and' or 'or'. The solution for a compound inequality with ‘and’ is the intersection of the two solutions sets. The solution for a compound inequality with ‘or’ is the union of the two solutions sets.
