If x = -|w|, which of the following must be true  [#permalink]

Bunuel,
I couldn't understand OG explanation. Alternatively, if (x, w) is equal to either of the pairs (−1,1) or (−1,−1), then x = −|w| is true. However, each of the answer choices except x2 = w2 is false for at least one of these two pairs.

Could you explain me.

Thanks

Thanks ammuseeru , I think am better at single modulus ;)

My approach coincided with OptimusPrepJanielle
Did you care to took x or w as negatives or fractions even if nothing
was mentioned about them in questions stem?

Spoiler: ::
I honestly at time have a disliking for OG sol since at time they are crappy (you may find tons
of issues on verbal forums), I would rather validate my approach
on forums than spending time to understand them.

If \(x = –|w|\), which of the following must be true?

A. \(x = –w\)
B. \(x = w\)
C. \(x^2 = w\)
D. \(x^2 = w^2\)
E. \(x^3 = w^3\)


Given: \(x = –|w|\)

Asked: Which of the following must be true?

\(x = –|w|\)
Taking square of both sides
\(x^2 = w^2\)
