Answer:


-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Explanation:


(-15)/(3)<(3n)/(3)\leq(6)/(3) (Divide all sides by 3 to make it easier to understand)


-5<n\leq 2

Now you can just look at all of the possible values for n, knowing that it's an integer.


-5 is less than
n, so we know that
n's lowest value must be
-4.

We also know that
n is less than or equal to
2, so the highest value of
n must be
2.

Now you can count through the remaining integers from
-4 to
2.
