Answer 2

Answer:  61

==================================================

Work Shown:

a = smallest integer = 35

b = largest integer = 95

c = number of integers between 'a' and 'b' (including both endpoints)

c = b-a+1

c = 95-35+1

c = 61

The +1 is to count the starting value.

Consider the set {1,2,3,4,5}. If we don't have the +1, then we would have 5-1 = 4, but there are actually 5 items here. So we add 1 to fix this.
