For any tripartite <density operator>, expanding the three <quantum mutual information> terms in <Von Neumann entropy> gives $I(X:BD)=I(X:B)+I(XB:D)-I(B:D)$. This algebraic identity allows separate bounds on two information contributions, while <nonnegativity of quantum relative entropy> allows the last term to be dropped in an upper bound.
