Question

QUICKKK

Answer 1

Add -5 to each side of the inequality:

-3 ≤ x + 5 ≤ 8

-3 - 5 ≤ x + 5 - 5 ≤ 8 - 5

-8 ≤ x ≤ 3

Since x is an integer, there are 12 possible solutions belonging to {-8, -7, ..., 1, 2, 3}. In the sum of these solutions, the integers -3 to 3 cancel out, and the rest give

-8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 = -30
