[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation |-6 + x| = 16, we can break it down into two separate equations:

1) -6 + x = 16
2) -(-6 + x) = 16

Solving the first equation:

-6 + x = 16
x = 16 + 6
x = 22

Solving the second equation:

-(-6 + x) = 16
6 - x = 16
-x = 16 - 6
-x = 10
x = -10

The equation has two solutions: x = 22 and x = -10.
