Solve and check the inequality

|8m+4|<12

This is the concept of algebra, to solve the inequality we proceed as follows;

|8m+4|<12

given that the absolute value is represented by positive and negative values, we shall have:

- (8m+4) <12

-8m-4<12

-8m<12+4

-8m<16

thus;

m>16 / (-8)

m>-2

also:

8m+4<12

8m<12-4

8m<8

m<8/8

m<1

hence the answer is - 2
