The solution

You have entered [src]
|x + 2| + |x - 3| = 7
$$\left|{x - 3}\right| + \left|{x + 2}\right| = 7$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

1.
$$x - 3 \geq 0$$
$$x + 2 \geq 0$$
or
$$3 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$\left(x - 3\right) + \left(x + 2\right) - 7 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$2 x - 8 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = 4$$

2.
$$x - 3 \geq 0$$
$$x + 2 < 0$$
The inequality system has no solutions, see the next condition

3.
$$x - 3 < 0$$
$$x + 2 \geq 0$$
or
$$-2 \leq x \wedge x < 3$$
we get the equation
$$\left(3 - x\right) + \left(x + 2\right) - 7 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
incorrect
the solution in this interval:

4.
$$x - 3 < 0$$
$$x + 2 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < -2$$
we get the equation
$$\left(3 - x\right) + \left(- x - 2\right) - 7 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- 2 x - 6 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = -3$$


The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 4$$
$$x_{2} = -3$$
The graph
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -3
$$x_{1} = -3$$
x2 = 4
$$x_{2} = 4$$
x2 = 4
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
-3 + 4
$$-3 + 4$$
=
1
$$1$$
product
-3*4
$$- 12$$
=
-12
$$-12$$
-12
Numerical answer [src]
x1 = 4.0
x2 = -3.0
x2 = -3.0
