Are the inequalities x > 3 and 3 < x equivalent?

They both say that x must be larger than 3. No bickering here. So yep, they're equivalent.

Inequalities usually have a lot of solutions—in fact, infinitely many. Think about the inequality x > 3. This inequality states that "x must be larger than 3." Any number bigger than 3 is a solution to this inequality. That includes 3.001, 3.0001, 4, 5, 2 million, and every other number bigger than 3. We don't have time at the moment to name them all,
