We can let y = x+4 and find all integers that satisfy |y| < 9. The only integers that y could be are -8,-7,...,7,8 (y cannot equal +/- 9). The set {-8,-7,...,7,8} has 17 elements, and since each possible value of y corresponds to a value of x, there are 17 integer solutions for x. \n" ); document.write( "
