The relation ''less than or equal to," written as ≤, has the following three properties on the set of real numbers, R:
1) x ≤ x for any x Є R
2) If x ≤ y and y ≤ x then x = y for any x, y Є R
3) If x ≤ y and y ≤ z then x ≤ z for any x, y, z Є R

What is the definition of inequality?
An inequality is simply a relation between two mathematical expressions that is not strictly equal. For example, the relation can be "greater than" (>), less than (
What is less than or equal to?
"Less than or equal to" is a mathematical relation represented by the symbol "≤." It indicates that one value is either smaller than or equal to another value. For example, if (x ≤ y), it means that (x) can be either less than (y) or equal to (y). This concept is commonly used in inequalities to compare numbers, quantities, or expressions.
What does transitive mean in math terms?
Transitive Property (mathematics), property of a mathematical relation such that if the relation holds between a and b and between b and c, then it also exists between a and c. The equality relation, for example, is transitive because if a = b and b = c, then a = c. Other transitive relations include greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (?), and less than or equal to (?).
