Write a bash script that takes two numbers as arguments and performs the following numeric tests using if, then, else, and elif syntax:

1. Check if the first number is equal to the second number.
2. Check if the first number is greater than the second number.
3. Check if the first number is less than the second number.

Example Output:

$ ./numeric_tests.sh 5 10
5 is less than 10

$ ./numeric_tests.sh 10 5
10 is greater than 5

$ ./numeric_tests.sh 5 5
5 is equal to 5
