x is greater than or equal to -6 and less than or equal to 6. x is in the middle somewhere.

As it's written (your inequality) it can be thought of as a REGION being bounded by the 2 vertical lines: x= -6 and x= 6, NOT INCLUDING points on the 2 LINES, but including all points between them. This is the "meaning" when you consider a 2 dimensional space. Staying in 2 dimensional space and replacing both inequality symbols with less than OR equal to, you get the REGION AND all points on the vertical boundary LINES.
If you want to picture this in 3 dimensional space then the previous region becomes a "wall" of thickness 12 units.
(You can go further -- in dimensions -- but the imagery starts to fail, and you think in terms of total independence of each variable from the other.)
I carelessly overlooked ONE-DIMENSIONAL space. Your unamended inequality would just be all points on a line segment; there would be no largest (or smallest) endpoint to the segment (even tho the segment is bounded). When amended (so that equality is part of each inequality symbol) the segment would have largest and smallest endpoint (+6; -6).

this expression in mathematics mean the range of x which is between -6 and 6.
however, note it is NOT equal to -6 and 6. So the actual range could be considered in two terms
if you donot care about integers
then the actual range for plotting is
-5.999999999 <= x <= 5.99999999999
you can take any value in the middle as u like
if you do care about integers
the the actual range for plotting is
-5 <= x <= 5
you can take any value in the middle as u like for this well !!
Cheers

It means that x is restricted to values that lie between -6 and +6 and according to your ammendment, x may also =-6 and +6.
This restricted set of values of x is called the domaine.

according to the equation x cannot be equal -6 nor 6.

The solution is any real number between negative six and six, non-inclusive.
