The solution

You have entered [src]
|x + 13| - |x - 4| = 56
$$- \left|{x - 4}\right| + \left|{x + 13}\right| = 56$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

1.
$$x + 13 \geq 0$$
$$x - 4 \geq 0$$
or
$$4 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$- (x - 4) + \left(x + 13\right) - 56 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
incorrect
the solution in this interval:

2.
$$x + 13 \geq 0$$
$$x - 4 < 0$$
or
$$-13 \leq x \wedge x < 4$$
we get the equation
$$- (4 - x) + \left(x + 13\right) - 56 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$2 x - 47 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = \frac{47}{2}$$
but x1 not in the inequality interval

3.
$$x + 13 < 0$$
$$x - 4 \geq 0$$
The inequality system has no solutions, see the next condition

4.
$$x + 13 < 0$$
$$x - 4 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < -13$$
we get the equation
$$- (4 - x) + \left(- x - 13\right) - 56 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
incorrect
the solution in this interval:
