Key Concepts

Equality

When two values are identical in magnitude, they are said to be equal, which is represented by the '=' symbol. In a comparison where both sides are the same, the equality relation applies instead of an inequality.

Comparison Operators

These symbols, such as '<' and '>', are used to compare two numbers or expressions to determine which is larger or smaller. Understanding them is essential for expressing relationships between quantities.

Order of Real Numbers

This concept involves positioning numbers on a number line from least to greatest. Recognizing the ordering of numbers helps determine when one quantity is less than, greater than, or equal to another.
