A compound inequality would be a combination of two or more inequalities, combined with AND or with OR. This can be implied, as in 2 < x < 5, which means: 2 < x AND x < 5.

You solve an inequality in exactly the same was as you solve an equation, by doing the same thing to both sides. The only difference is if you multiply/divide by a negative number, when you have to turn the inequality around.
"Anything," "everything," "nothing," and "something." "Underclothing" also is a compound word, but not the same thing :D
If the absolute value inequality is of the form where the absolute value of the difference between a variable (X) and some constant (a) is compared to another constant (b) eg |X - a| compared with b, then if the comparison is < or ≤, the compound inequality is a double inequality of the form c < X < d (or ≤), and if the comparison is > or ≥, the compound inequality is a disjoint inequality of the form X < c or X > d (or including the equals). In both cases, c = b - a, d = b + a (>c)
Can you provide me with an inequality problem that the value is the same?
It means that both inequalities must be satisfied.
