|-4|+|-6|+|m|=10
4+6+m=10.... hmm thats a hard one....
(all absolute values are positive, never negative)
m=0

Do you remember what absolute value is? (it is the distance between the number and 0 - or, in other words the positive value of the number). So, the absolute value of -4 is 4. The absolute value of -6 is 6 ...

Your equation, then is
4 + 6 + m = 10

You should be able to solve for m from there...
10 + m = 10
m = 0...

absolute -4 = 4
absolute -6 = 6

4 + 6 + m = 10

10 + m = 10

m = 10 - 10

m = 0

we need to know m before we can answer

but FYI the absolute value of -4 + the absolute value of -6 does = 10, so if your HW problem is this:

| -4 | + | -6 | + m = 10, solve for m

then m is 0

m would equal 0 becuz the av of -4 is 4, -6 is 6 and 4+6=10 so m must equal 0 to keep it at 10

|-4| = 4
|-6| = 6

4+6+|m| = 10

|m| = 0

m = 0

Usually in math, the letter "m" or the letter "a" can mean the slope. See if that fits in with the problem. Hope this helps!

So its |-4| + |-6| + |m| = 10

M is 0...
