The mistake is in step 3:
I: −2m =−12 − 2n
II: 2m = 8 + 8n
the student set both right sides of the equations equal (−12 − 2n = 8 + 8n), but the left sides aren't equal: first equation has -2m, second has +2m so the signs of one of the equations must be inverted first
Absolute value functions are v-shaped. I hthink the turning point you're referring to is the vertex. This is where the inside of the absolute value is zero.
f(x) = |x+2|
0 = x+2
-2 = x
vertex (-2,0)
