Solve: |m| = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it would be -8 but i got it wrong??? How do you figure this out??

geerky42 (geerky42):

m can also be 8. -8 is not only answer

geerky42 (geerky42):

|8| = 8 |-8| = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pretty sure its |-8| =8

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

@geerky42 is right it can be 8 or -8

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

8 and -8 are the answers

geerky42 (geerky42):

Basically all absolute value(| |) do is making negative number a positive number. No effect on positive number.
