We need integers that are:
• less than ( -100 )
• but greater than ( -150 )
This means: ( -150 < n < -100 )
-
On a number line, as you go left, numbers get smaller.
The part between ( -100 ) and ( -150 ) has many integers.
-
Start just below ( -100 ):
The first few are ( -101, -102, -103, ldots )
Keep going until just above ( -150 ):
( ldots, -149, -148, ldots )
-
Choose any five integers in this open interval.
Example set: ( -101, -110, -120, -130, -149 )
-
Quick check:
( -101 < -100 ) and ( -101 > -150 ) ✓
( -149 < -100 ) and ( -149 > -150 ) ✓
All chosen numbers satisfy ( -150 < n < -100 ).
Note: Many other correct answers are possible, e.g., ( -102, -105, -115, -140, -148 ).
