Definition: Two sets P and Q are equal, denoted P = Q, iff
∀x [x∈P↔x∈Q]
The symbol ↔ means logically equivalent (and also the statement is true if both parts are true, or both are false).
It is also important to note that the previous statement is also the same as:
P = Q iff ∀x [(x∈P→x∈Q) ∧ (x∈Q → x∈Q)]
P = Q iff P ⊆ Q and Q ⊆ P
