Full solution

Q. Solve for ww.\newline0=3w0 = -3|w|\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinew=w = _____ or w=w = _____
  1. Isolate absolute value term: Isolate the absolute value term.\newlineWe start with the equation 0=3w0 = -3|w|. To find the value of w|w|, we divide both sides by 3-3.\newline03=3w3\frac{0}{-3} = \frac{-3|w|}{-3}\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline0=w0 = |w|
  2. Determine values of ww: Determine the values of ww. The absolute value of a number is always non-negative. Therefore, if w=0|w| = 0, then ww must be 00 because it is the only number whose absolute value is 00. So, w=0w = 0 and w=0w = -0 (which is the same as 00).
