Step 1

It is assumed that the question is asking to find a way to partition the set of all integers into two subsets. We do this as follows:

Given the set of all integers, say A. Then we first take two non-empty subsets, say B and C.

Now, for each element, say x in A, if x is an odd integer, we put it into the set B. Also, if x is the additive inverse of a positive odd integer (if x is an integer, then -x is said to be its additive inverse), then also put it in B. 

Else, if the element x in A is an even integer, then put it in the set C. Same for negative integers that is if x is a negative integer and -x is an even integer, then put it in the set C.
