The solution

You have entered [src]
|x + 13| = 6
$$\left|{x + 13}\right| = 6$$
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:
$$x_{1} = -7$$
$$x_{2} = -19$$
The graph
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -19
$$x_{1} = -19$$
x2 = -7
$$x_{2} = -7$$
x2 = -7
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
-19 - 7
$$-19 - 7$$
=
-26
$$-26$$
product
-19*(-7)
$$- -133$$
=
133
$$133$$

Numerical answer [src]
x1 = -19.0
x2 = -7.0
x2 = -7.0
