Explanation:

-8 < x < -2

-5 < x < 0

-3 < x < 3

"greater than" and "less than" is not inclusive of the number written. So

a) -7,-6,-5,-4,-3

b) -4,-3,-2,-1

c) -2,-1,0,1,2

The question should have specified "integers" btw. "All" numbers is impossible to list out since you can have 1.999999999999 but never quite 2
