Answer:

-x+2

Explanation:

In order to find the answer of the expression |x-2| when x<2, we have to know what the absolute value is. This means that since the number is the distance of that number from zero on a number line, we can see that since x<2, it is a negative number. This means that it would simplify to -(x-2), or -x+2.
