Question

M = –8
no solution
m = 8 or –8
m = –4

Answer 1

Step-by-step

1+m/2 -1 =-3+1

m/2 = -2

2(m/2) = 2(-2)

m = -4

when m was -8

-8 = -4

-8 ≠ -4

when m was 8

8 = -4

8 ≠ -4

Answer 2

`No\:Solution`

Explanation:

`(\left|m\right|)/(2)-1=-3`

Add 1 to both sides:

`\longmapsto`
`(\left|m\right|)/(2)-1+1=-3+1`

`\longmapsto`
`(\left|m\right|)/(2)=-2`

Multiply both sides by 2:

`\longmapsto`
`(2\left|m\right|)/(2)=2\left(-2\right)`

`\longmapsto`
`\left|m\right|=-4`

No solution!
