The expression x-4 will come out to be a negative integer. That means X <em>has to be </em>something that when 4 is taken away from it, the answer is still negative.

Let's try 5.
5-4 is 1. Is 1 negative? No, so that doesn't work.
4-4 is 0. 0 isn't negative either, so that doesn't work.
3-4 is -1. Is -1 negative? YES! Let's try it for 2 as well, just to be safe.
2-4 is -2. Still negative.

X can be anything less than 4.

Answer:

Integers between (-∞, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative Integer is integers whose value is less than 0 i.e. -1, -2, -3, -4,.... so on.

The expression x - 4 will be negative if x is less than 4.

For Example, if we take integers greater than 4 or equal to 4 as the value of x then,

5 - 4 = +1 which is not a negative integer

4 - 4 = 0 which is again not a negative integer.

But, if we take x as less than 4 then we get,

2 - 4 = -2 i.e. negative integer

-3 - 4 = -7 i.e. also negative integer.

So, for all value of x which is less than 4, we will get a negative integer.
