You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-3abs%28m-2%29=2If this is what your problem looks like then
%28cross%28-3%29%2Aabs%28m-2%29%29%2Fcross%28-3%29=2%2F%28-3%29Divide both sides by -3
So we get
abs%28m-2%29=-2%2F3Which cannot be solved. Think about it, the absolute value of any number is always positive. Since the right side is negative, there is no solution for this problem. Maybe you posted something wrong, or I read it wrong, but this particular problem has no solution.
