Answer:

True. The absolute value produces a positive value, but then when you negate that value, it would always be negative. What's important is we're not taking the negative of the number being absolute valued itself, but rather we're taking a negative of the result.

Solve the equation 6w2 – 7w – 20 = 0.

For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

$6w ^ 2-7w-20 = 0$

Where:

$a = 6\\b = -7\\c = -20$

Its roots will be given by:

$w = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}\\w = \frac {- (- 7) \pm \sqrt {(- 7) ^ 2-4 (6) (- 20)}} {2 (6)}\\w = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 480}} {12}\\w = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {529}} {12}\\w = \frac {7 \pm23} {12}$

The roots are:

$w_ {1} = \frac {7 + 23} {12} = \frac {30} {12} = \frac {15} {6} = \frac {5} {2}\\w_ {2} = \frac {7-23} {12} = \frac {-16} {12} = - \frac {8} {6} = - \frac {4} {3}$
