Absolute Value Problem: |x + 2| − 2|x + 1| + 2|x − 1| − 2|x − 2| = x − 2.

Hey can anyone help me with this problem:<br><br>|x + 2| − 2|x + 1| + 2|x − 1| − 2|x − 2| = x − 2.<br><br>I'm not too sure how to incorporate the x+2 and x+1 absolute value terms, or the x-2 on the right of the = sign.<br>Thanks in advance..

If x \(\displaystyle \le\) -2, what does the equality resolve to?
