If you meant to say "The set of all ODD integers w such that 5+%3C+w+%3C=+18 then the answer is D) {7,9,11,13,15,17}

This is because you start with 5 but you don't include it in the answer. Then you move to 7 which is the next odd number up. Then you move to 9, then to 11, 13, etc etc until you hit 17 and you stop. You stop here because 19 is too large. The value w needs to be 18 or smaller.
