    Second degree equations always have two (not necessarily different) solutions. We are told that 9 is one solution to w² - 81 - 0. To find the other, we can solve it for w and look for both.

    w² - 81 = 0

    w² = 81

    w = √81

    w = 9 OR w = - 9

    When solving by square roots, you need the solution and its opposite. That's because while 9 * 9 = 81, (-9) * (-9) = 81 as well.

    The other solution is - 9.
