Step 1.1

Move the limit inside the absolute value signs.

$| lim_{x \to 2} x - 2 |$

Step 1.2

Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as $x$ approaches $2$ .

$| lim_{x \to 2} x - lim_{x \to 2} 2 |$

Step 1.3

Evaluate the limit of $2$ which is constant as $x$ approaches $2$ .

$| lim_{x \to 2} x - 1 \cdot 2 |$

Step 2

Evaluate the limit of $x$ by plugging in $2$ for $x$ .

$| 2 - 1 \cdot 2 |$
