Answer

The set of integers between -100 and 100 that are congruent to -1 modulo 25 are $\{-76, -51, =1, 24, 49, 74, 99\}$.

Work Step by Step

First, we will find all the integers between -100 and 0 that are congruent to -1 modulo 25. Then we will find all the integers 0 to 100 that satisfy the same condition. -1+25(-1)=-26 -1+25(-2)=-51 -1+25(-3)=-76 -1+25(1)=24 -1+25(2)=49 -1+25(3)=74 -1+25(4)=99
