You wrote this: M={x x is an integer and −5≤x−3} But that is incomplete. There should be either a vertical line | or a colon : between the x's on the left. Also there should be either a < or a ≤ between the x and the -3 on the right. If you meant this: M = {x | x is an integer and −5 ≤ x < −3} Then the answer is {-5, -4} But if you meant this: M = {x | x is an integer and −5 ≤ x ≤ −3} Then the answer is {-5, -4, -3} Edwin
