psat math midterm assessment
possible points: 5
select the item from the drop - down list to correctly complete the sentence
a(n) drop - down is made up of two inequalities joined by and or or.
options: compound inequality, inequality, equation, expression

Explanation:

To determine the correct term, we analyze the definitions:

• A "compound inequality" is defined as two inequalities joined by "and" or "or".
• An "inequality" is a single statement of order, not two joined.
• An "equation" involves an equality sign, not inequalities.
• An "expression" is a combination of numbers/ variables, no inequality/equality.

So the term that fits the description (two inequalities joined by and/or) is "compound inequality".

Answer:

compound inequality
