You can put this solution on YOUR website! Integers are defined as the counting or natural numbers plus the negatives of these numbers,
and this includes zero.
.
You might also refer to them as positive and negative whole numbers and zero.
.
So integers are ... -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... and so on in both directions.
.
Therefore, for this problem the correct answer is A). Only 3 and -3 are integers in the list
of numbers that you were given.
.
Hope this helps you to understand what integers are.
