m = –8
no solution
m = 8 or –8
m = –4

Answer:
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:
[tex]No\:Solution[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{\left|m\right|}{2}-1=-3[/tex]
Add 1 to both sides:
[tex]\longmapsto[/tex] [tex]\frac{\left|m\right|}{2}-1+1=-3+1[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto[/tex] [tex]\frac{\left|m\right|}{2}=-2[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2:
[tex]\longmapsto[/tex] [tex]\frac{2\left|m\right|}{2}=2\left(-2\right)[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto[/tex] [tex]\left|m\right|=-4[/tex]
No solution!
