|x+13|=6 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.
1.
$$x + 13 \geq 0$$
or
$$-13 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$\left(x + 13\right) - 6 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$x + 7 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = -7$$
2.
$$x + 13 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < -13$$
we get the equation
$$\left(- x - 13\right) - 6 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- x - 19 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = -19$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = -7$$
$$x_{2} = -19$$
$$x_{1} = -19$$
$$x_{2} = -7$$
