Question

all real numbers that are greater than -6 but less than 6. i kinda get it but im confused with the symbols(<,>) i don't now which ones greater or which ones less its confusing

Answer 1

the arrow points to the smaller number

6 < x means six is less than x
x > 2 means x is greater than 2

<= means less than or equal
>= means greater than or equal

So, you want

-6 < x < 6

think of the point of the arrow as small, so it's next to the smaller value.
