How many integers greater than -10 are less than -3?
integers greater than -10 are -9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3...and so on up to infinity
since we need integers greater than -10 less than -3, solution is:
-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4
so, there are 6 integers greater than -10 that are less than -3
we can write them this way:
-10%3C-9%3C-3
-10%3C-8%3C-3
-10%3C-7%3C-3
-10%3C-6%3C-3
-10%3C-5%3C-3
-10%3C-4%3C-3
