Hey there!
|6w - 18| = 12
You can say:
|6w - 18| = 12
6w - 18 = 12 or 6w - 18 = -12
First let’s solve for: 6w - 18 = 12
6w - 18 = 12
ADD 18 to BOTH SIDES
6w - 18 + 18 = 12 + 18
SIMPLIFY IT!
6w = 12 + 18
6w = 30
DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES
6w/6 = 30/6
SIMPLIFY IT!
w = 30/6
w = 5
Second let’s solve for: 6w - 18 = -12
6w - 18 = -12
ADD 18 to BOTH SIDES
6w - 18 + 18 = -12 + 18
SIMPLIFY IT!
6w = -12 + 18
6w = 6
DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES
6w/6 = 6/6
SIMPLIFY IT!
w = 6/6
w = 1
Therefore, your answer should be:
w = 5 or w = 1
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
