About This Worksheet

This medium-level worksheet contains 18 problems designed for 9th Grade students practicing compound inequalities. Medium worksheets introduce larger numbers and varied question formats to deepen understanding and build fluency.

Compound inequalities model complex real-world constraints — a value must be within a range (AND) or must satisfy one of two conditions (OR). Understanding the difference between intersection and union connects inequality solving to set theory and logic.

  • Solve AND compound inequalities and graph their intersection on a number line
  • Solve OR compound inequalities and graph their union
  • Write compound inequality solutions in interval notation
  • Identify whether a compound inequality represents a bounded or unbounded solution set
  • Translate real-world range constraints into AND or OR compound inequalities
