What is the sum of all integer solutions to the following inequality?
Answer choices
Show solution
Solution
Suppose we have as a solution. Then, would also be a solution as The sum of these two solutions would be Thus, the sum of all integer solutions to the above equation is four times the number of positive ’s that work.
To find the number of ’s, we need to find the number of positive solutions to: which would be as
Therefore, the sum of all the solutions is
Thus, the correct answer is B .
