how is that possible at the same time

x less than negative 3. That set looks kinda like this
( ... , -6, -5, -4, -3)
(I'm doing this for integers of course.
Notice it doesn't contain anything larger than -3.

The other set is the numbers greater than 5,
( 5, 6, 7, 8, ... )

The question is asking you,
what do these sets have in common?
Which numbers?
