Less than or greater than equations

We already know

Less than is <     greater than is >

But a logical step forward is:

A less than or greater than equal to symbol has the symbols we have just learned with an underscore underneath

 

Example 1

 D34 

The line underneath the greater than symbol means "or equal to", so this means D is greater than or equal to 34.

 

Example 2

 B20

This means B is less than or equal to 20.
