There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

The easy way to think about this is what number comes between 5 and 7? The answer is 6 (but we have to consider that it's negative in this case.)

So the answer is -6

Another way to look at it is with a number line (not to scale.)

<===(-7)==(-6)==(-5)==(-3)==(-2)==(-1)==(0)==(1)==>

Notice how -6 comes between the two numbers.

-6 is larger than -7 (it's "less negative" -- closer to zero)

-6 is less than -5 (it's "more negative" -- further away from zero)
