The number can be -3, -2, -1, 0 ,1
Here, we are given that twice a number is increased by three and the result is between negative three and seven.
Let the number be x
Twice of the number = 2x
Four more than twice the number = 2x + 4
This number is between -3, 7
⇒ -3 < 2x +4 < 7
subtracting 4 from both sides we get
-3 -4 < 2x < 7 - 4
-7 < 2x < 3
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
-7/2 < x < 3/2
- 3.5 < x < 1.5
Thus the original number lies between -3.5 and 1.5
This means that it can take 5 values-
-3, -2, -1, 0 ,1
