A stupid question, but I'm wrong, pls explain me

[tracyyahoo]

if ｜x+4｜=2, what is the value of m?

(1) m<0
(2) m^2+8m+12=0

I chose D because m could be either -2 or -6, that should answer the question

why is E? is it because m has two value is wrong??? Because m just only has these two values no others, don't you think both are suff.???

Pls explain me, thank you so much

In DS questions 2 answers is not acceptable, you need to find 1 unique solution.
Here you get 2 values m (or is it x?) can take. So its E (cannot be determined)

if ｜x+4｜=2, what is the value of m?

(1) m<0
(2) m^2+8m+12=0

I chose D because m could be either -2 or -6, that should answer the question

why is E? is it because m has two value is wrong??? Because m just only has these two values no others, don't you think both are suff.???

Pls explain me, thank you so much

Absolutely, in DS questions, we need to be very careful that we are getting a unique answer. If we are getting more than 1 value, then it not sufficient, as in the present case. So, here the answer has to be E.
