Algebra-1

The number that is within the range is: 2.

 

Given range:

e ≤ -7 or -1 ≤ e ≤ 7

 

To satisfy the conditions, e can be less than or equal to -7, or between -1 and 7, including both -1 and 7.

 

Evaluating the options:

Option A

Since -5 is greater than -7, it is not within the range.
