Question

Solve for w.

Answer 1

Hey!

-----------------------------------------------

Answer:

w = -12 or w = 12

-----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The lines on each side of the w stands for "absolute value". This means that whatever number is inside the two lines is positive regarding its sign.

|12| = 12

|-12| = 12

Since the equation has the negative symbol outside the two lines, it means that the absolute value will remain negative.
