D

Explain?

anonymous · Answer

well it would be a really long explanation to go through each one...but if you draw each one...the lines go in opposite directions...which means they are compounded....D is the only one that goes to each other

i just saw which one isn't a compound inequality

anonymous · Answer

the question is 
"Which of the following is NOT an equivalent form of the compound inequality:"

anonymous · Answer

Yes...

anonymous · Answer
