Maybe

    30 > x >= 15

? Seems more "similar" to the original expression than the other
possibilities.

As to how to try it out, bring up the Python prompt, assign various values
to x, and keep evaluating the possibilities. To simplify evaluation off a
bunch of alternatives, consider defining a function which takes x add a
parameter and print out the various expression values. I'd give a concrete
example, but don't has a prompt available on my phone...

Just my 2¢...
