The solution

You have entered [src]
|x + 4| = 5
$$\left|{x + 4}\right| = 5$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

1.
$$x + 4 \geq 0$$
or
$$-4 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$\left(x + 4\right) - 5 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$x - 1 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = 1$$

2.
$$x + 4 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < -4$$
we get the equation
$$\left(- x - 4\right) - 5 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- x - 9 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = -9$$


The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$x_{2} = -9$$
The graph
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -9
$$x_{1} = -9$$
x2 = 1
$$x_{2} = 1$$
x2 = 1
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
-9 + 1
$$-9 + 1$$
=
-8
$$-8$$
product
-9
$$-9$$
=
-9
$$-9$$
-9
Numerical answer [src]
x1 = 1.0
x2 = -9.0
x2 = -9.0
