                  If the relationship between the compound inequalities is OR and they point towards the same direction, you will pick the inequality which has a broader range.

                  If the relationship between the compound inequalities is AND and they point towards the same direction, you will pick the inequality which has a narrower range.

                  When you multiply or divide a negative number, the inequality symbol will be reversed.
