Given x < - 2, simplify | - x | + | - x + 2 | - | - 2-x|


|-x|+|x+2|-|2-x|
=-x+(-x-2)-(2-x)
=-x-x-2-2+x
=-x-4



Simplification: | X-2 | + | 2x + 1 | - | X-5|

x>=5
|x-2|+|2x+1|-|x-5|=x-2+2x+1-x+5=2x+4
two

When x > 5, simplify: [X-5] - [2x-13]


Is it a bracket or an absolute number
In brackets = x-5-2x + 13 = 8-x
If it's an absolute number five
