2-5\lvert5m-5\rvert=-73

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} 2-5(5m-5)=-73\text{ and 2+5(5m-5)=-73} \\ 2-25m+25=-73\text{ and 2+ 25m}-25=-73 \\ 27-25m=-73\text{ and -23+25m=-73} \\ -25m=-73-27\text{ and 25m=-73+23} \\ -25m=-100\text{ and 25m = }-50 \\ m=(-100)/(-25)\text{ and m=}(-50)/(25) \\ m=4\text{ and m=-2} \end{gathered}
