Absolute value represents distance. Distances can't be negative. 

So it's impossible to have |3-w| be some negative value. 

Which is why [tex]|3-w| = -2[/tex] has no solutions
the answer is 5 since there are no numbers in front you just subtract 3 from both sides leaving you with -w=-5 and a negative divided by a negative is a positive
