You can put this solution on YOUR website! -4<5+x<0 and x<0 Because it is negative
-4=5+x
-9=x Therefore x must be greater than -9
5+x=0
x=-5 Therefore x must be less than -5
The solution of the problem is the open interval of the numbers greater than -9 and less than -5, S=(-6,-7,-8) Are the threes negative integers that are solution to the problem.
