For an integer n, the inequality
x^2 + nx + 15 < -21 - 7x + x^2
has no real solutions in x. Find the number of different possible values of n.

x^2 + nx + 15 < -21 - 7x + x^2      simplify

 

(-7 -n) x >  36

 

x >   36 / - (7+n)       {the denominator  cannot =  0 }

 

This will have no  real solutions when n =  -7
