So if we want to write x is less than or equal to 6, we write it as x ≤ 6, which means that x can have any value from negative infinity to 6 but not more than 6. Less than or equal to is represented by the symbol ≤.
Same numbers can either be added or subtracted on both sides of an inequality without changing the sign of inequality.

Similarly, when we want to denote 'x greater than or equal to - 2', we marked a circle at - 2 and pointed an arrow towards the values greater than - 2, as suggested in the condition of inequality. We can see that when we want to denote 'x less than or equal to - 5', we marked a circle at - 5 and pointed an arrow towards the values less than - 5, as suggested in the condition of inequality. Let us see this on a number line given below: To denote these, we use the closed circle to mark the limit value and point the arrow towards the given condition of inequality. Inequalities like less than or equal to and greater than or equal to are represented in a different way on a number line.
