The statement $x<3$ is read as '$x$ is less than 3'. Notice there is a small side and a big side to the symbol $<$. The small part of the symbol goes on the side with the small number and the large side goes on the side with the large number.

\n

For example, given $y>2$, we see the large side of the symbol is on the left and the small side is on the right. Therefore, the statement is saying $y$ is greater than 2. 

\n

When there is an extra line on the bottom, e.g. $\\ge$, this gives the look of an 'equals sign' and so $w\\ge 5$ means '$x$ is greater than or equal to 5'. Likewise, $z\\le 0$, means '$z$ is less than or equal to 0'.
