How many different integer solutions are there for the inequality |n-17|≤3 ?

A 0
B 2
C 5
D 6
E 7

\(|n-17|≤3\)
So, n - 17 ≤ 3
n ≤ 20
Also,
-n + 17 ≤ 3
-n ≤ -14
n >= 14
So, range is 14<=n<=20
So, integers solutions are 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
IMO, E (7)

|n-17|≤3
=> -3 ≤ n - 17 ≤ 3

Adding 17 on all the sides we get
=> -3 + 17 ≤ n - 17 + 17 ≤ 3 + 17
=> 14 ≤ n ≤ 20

Given that n is integer
=> Possible values of n are 14, 15, ..., 20
=> 20 - 14 + 1 = 7 values

So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!
