Solve -4 < 2 - x <= 1 over integers.

Ax belongs to {2, 3, 4, 5}
Bx belongs to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Cx belongs to {1, 2, 3}
Dx belongs to {-1, 0, 1}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. x belongs to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
1. Subtract 2 from each part: -6 < -x <= -1. 2. Multiply by -1 (flip both signs): 1 <= x < 6. 3. Integers in this range are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 4. So the integer solution set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. _Source: Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10, Ch 4 Linear Inequations in One Variable (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on integer solution sets_
