Step 1Lets consider some examples      2    =    2        2    =    3    -    1   and so on.That deals with the equals bit2 is less than 3       →    2    &amp;lt;    3  The gap between the two lines of &amp;lt; on the right is much greater than the left. The greater gap indicates greater value. So reading left to right       2    &amp;lt;    3  . Stating the obvious; the 2 is less than the 3 or 3 is greater than 2       →    3    &amp;gt;    2  Step 2Putting them togetherLook at the order of the wording &quot; 3 less than or equal to x&quot;Writing the numbers and symbols in the same order as the wording we have       3    &amp;lt;    =    x  . However, the correct format for this is       3    ≤    x  .Step 3Footnotea less than b                                                    →                               a    &amp;lt;    b  a less than or equal to b                                  →                               a    ≤    b  a greater than b                                              →                               a    &amp;gt;    b  a greater than or equal to b       →                               a    ≥    b  a not equal to b                                                →                               a    ≠    b
