Question

Graph the solution set of
|-4w+2|=14
Show work please

Answer 1

|-4w+2|=14
2|-w+1|=14
|-w+1|=7
-w+1=7 or -w+1=-7
-w=6 or -w=-8
w=-6 or w=8

Answer 2

thanks. What confuses me, is I thought absolute values had to be positive, and I wasn't sure how to handle the -4w. From your answer, it looks like I solve it like a regular expression. Is this correct?

Answer 3

There is an error in the solution. When you factored out a 2 from the absolute value sign, what remains inside the absolute value is -2w+1, not -w+1.

Solutions will change.
