    I wrote my comment too hastily, you are correct. My comment has been edited, probably while you were typing yours.

      You’ll need to edit it again. The solution range is 𝑏 ∈ (–26, 26), not 𝑏 ∈ (–26, 0) but yeah, the smallest integer is still –25.

      Also, the last paragraph is weirdly worded:

      the least value of b is a value of x greater than […]

      You don’t need to introduce some “𝑥” of yours (distinct from the quadratic equation’s 𝑥?!) to express –26 < 𝑏 < 26 in words.
