This is inferior or equal.
This symbol is the mix between "<" and "=" (i.e. take the lower bar of "=" and put it below the "<")
Examples
3 lower or equal 4 is true (in fact it is lower)
3 lower or equal 3 is true (in fact it is equal)
3 lower or equal 2 is false (3 is larger than 2)
"Lower or equal" has EXACTLY the same meaning as "NOT larger"
The brother symbol combination of ">" and "=" (i.e. ">" with a bar below) also exists and means "larger or equal"

Less than OR equal to. Like 3 is less than or equal to 5... or 3 is less than or equal to 3... and so on.
It means both... don't worry about which one it is... you'll use it in the future on a few occasions.

Similarly, the symbol ⥠means greater than or equal to...

that means "less than or equal to". example: less than or equal to 10 means every number below and including 10.

It means less than or equal to. The underline means equal to, the < means less than, and the > means greater than.

It means you shouldn't be in algebra, but remedial math.

the way i learned it was:
2<3 the < is always open to the larger number.
the underline only means that it is ...less than OR EQUAL TO... / ...more than OR EQUAL TO...
