Answer:
A helpful tip for these questions: if you're including both end points, you can calculate by using the range (greatest value minus smallest value) and adding 1 to account for the inclusive set. (If you need to prove that to yourself, just use "how many integers between 1 and 3 inclusive" - clearly the set is 1, 2, 3 for three integers, but 3-1 = 2, so you can see you need to add one more to get the answer).
Step-by-step explanation:
Another way to look at this one is to chop it up: between -8 and 17 there are 8 negative integers (-1 through -8), 17 positive integers (1 through 17), and 0 as one more integer. 8 + 17 + 1 = 26.
