sqare both sides

Add

to both sides

This one looks like a cube root. When the
cube root is asked for, they are saying:
"What number multiplied by itself 3 times
will give the number under the cube root sign?
cube root(

) =

because

---------------------------------
cube root(

) = cube root(

)
cube root(

) = cube root(

) x cube root(

)
cube root(

) =

x cube root(

)

1.
Square both sides to remove the square root sign.
(w-9)=64
w=73
2. What you are describing is the 3rd root of -64. Ask yourself, what number when multiplied by itself 3 times, equals -64?
The answer is -4 because (-4)*(-4)*(-4)=-64
Your calculator should have a 3rd root button.
3. Are you sure it wasn't a 4 sqrt sign and 16 inside the sqrt?
I ask because 16 does not have 3rd root that is a rational number.
However, the 4th root of 16 is 2, because 2*2*2*2=16
