A number line with a closed circle on 3 and shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on 3 and shading to the left.

3 greater than or equal to x

x less than or greater to 3

Answer 1

It may be easier to write it out in equation form to see the problem. So what is the less than or greater to part telling you?

Answer 2

im not sure

Answer 3

The less than and greater than part tells you it is two equations to be looked at. The equations would be 2(x-2)<(less than) 2 and 2(x-2)>(greater than) 2. Then you would want to solve each equation for x and look at how that would be plotted on a number line.
