Question

solve w

/w/-9=-5

Answer 1

Do you mean absolute value? |w| ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Ok
|w| - 9 = -5
First add -9 to both sides
|w| - 9 + 9 = -5 + 9
|w| = 4
An absolute value equation of the form |X| = a where X is an expression and a is a number is solved by solving the two equations X = a or -X = a
Here the expression is simply w, so you get to equations:
w = 4 or -w = 4
Multiply the second part by -1 on both sides and you get:
w = 4 or w = -4

Answer 4

aye bro there is no x

Answer 5

There is no x in your problem, but I was trying to give you a general rule. The general rule of solving an equation with absolute value is that if you have an expression inside the absolute value symbol equaling a number, then solve the expression equals the number OR the negative of the expression equals the number. In your case the expression was simply w.
