what is |m-9|=27 ?

hero (hero):

Hint: \(m-9 = \pm 27\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the choices are {32,14} {32,29} {32,-14} {-32,-14}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pay attention carefully to what the hint is about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you just tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope :) that would be cheating

hero (hero):

2nd Hint m - 9 = 27 m - 9 = -27

hero (hero):

@panlac01, one of the answers is negative. And I'm only saying that because of what you posted which unfortunately helps the user.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good!

hero (hero):

Yeah, since there's only one answer that has one positive value and one negative value. It was a dead give away after I mentioned that.

hero (hero):

I wanted you to actually solve for m.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then can you actually explain it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neverming i got it

hero (hero):

You're supposed to solve both equations I gave you as hints for m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
