We first take the absolute value of -7, making 7. This simplifies the equation to 12=w-7. Adding 7 to both sides finds us w=19.

Answer:

Value of w is:

19

Explanation:

We are given a equation:

12=w−|−7|

Modulus(|a|) gives us the absolute value of that number

i.e. if a is a positive number then, |a|=a

and if a is a negative number then |a|= -a

-7 is a negtaive number

so, |-7|= -(-7)=7

So, equation 12=w−|−7| is converted to

12= w-7

Adding 7 on both sides, we get

w= 19

Hence, Value of w is:

19
