SOLUTION: Solve the equation. |3m+4| = 9 3m+4=9 or 3m+4= -9 3m=9-4 or 3m= -9-4 3m=5 or m= -13/3 m=5/3 Answer: {-13/3,5/3} That is what I get, is that right? because

Algebra ->  Equations -> SOLUTION: Solve the equation. |3m+4| = 9 3m+4=9 or 3m+4= -9 3m=9-4 or 3m= -9-4 3m=5 or m= -13/3 m=5/3 Answer: {-13/3,5/3} That is what I get, is that right? because      Log On


   

Question 212824: Solve the equation.
|3m+4| = 9
3m+4=9 or 3m+4= -9
3m=9-4 or 3m= -9-4
3m=5 or m= -13/3
m=5/3
Answer: {-13/3,5/3} That is what I get, is that right? because the answer sheet does not have that answer; instead it has {5/6,-13/6} where does the six come from?
Thanks

If the equation is abs%283m%2B4%29+=+9 then your solution is perfectly correct.

Is there any chance the equation was 2%2Aabs%283m%2B4%29+=+9? This would explain the "6".
