Solve for m. -4vert mvert =-16 Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form. m= square or m= square

To solve the equation , we first divide both sides by -4 to isolate the absolute value of m. This gives us . The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, m can be either 4 units to the right of zero (which is 4) or 4 units to the left of zero (which is -4). So, the solutions are or .
