Answer:
w1= -1.4, w2= 3
Explanation:
I will assume that "x" is a w since there is no x within the question
Solution

=3
Alternative Form

=3
Evaluate
5×∣4w−1∣=5w+40
Simplify
5∣4w−1∣=5w+40
Rewrite the expression
5∣4w−1∣−5w−40=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
5(4w−1)−5w−40=0,4w−1≥0
5(−(4w−1))−5w−40=0,4w−1<0
Evaluate
w=3,4w−1≥0
5(−(4w−1))−5w−40=0,4w−1<0
Evaluate
w=3,w≥
