sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

w= 1 and w= -5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have an absolute value that means that there are 2 possibilities

either (3x +4) is positive or negative. Will work each case and that will give us the answers.

If (3x+4) is positive we have the equation

3w+ 4 = 6w +1 , subtract 3w from both sides

       4 = 6w-3w+1, subtract 1 from both sides

    4-1 = 6w-3w, combine like terms

      3 = 3w , divide both sides by 3

      1 = w

If (3x+4) is negative we have the equation

-(3w+ 4) = 6w +1 , distribute the negative sign in parentheses

  -3w -4 = 6w +1, add 3w and subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

      -4 -1 = 6w +3w, combine like terms

          -5 = 9w , divide both sides by 9

    (-5/9) = w
