Answer: -2, 0, 3 and 4

Given that x is an integer

x + 2 > 7

Firstly, isolate x

x > 7 - 2

x > 5

This implies that x is greater than 5 and x could be 6 and 9

The counter examples: This implies that some options does not support the conditions

Since x > 5

The counter examples are -2, 0, 3, and 4
