Analyze relationships

Question

You know that the sum of -5 and another integer is a positive integer. What can you conclude about the sign of the other integer? What can you conclude about the value of the other integer? Explain.

Answer 1

-5+x>0

add 5 to both sides

x>5 x has positive sign, x>0, and it's in the interval (5, infinity) but only integers as possible values.

x=6,7,8, .... or any positive integer greater than 5
