Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Discussion 1
One-Variable Compound Inequalities
In this discussion, you will be demonstrating your understanding of compound inequalities and the effect that dividing by a negative has on an inequality. Read the following instructions in order and view the example to complete this discussion:
If the first letter of your last name is
Your “and” compound inequality is
Your “or” compound inequality is
