Answer:

x - 2, if x > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical lines either side of the expression mean absolute value.

The absolute value of a number is its positive numerical value.

if x > 5 then as 5 > 2, the values inside the vertical lines will always be positive.  Therefore, we can disregard the absolute value.

Therefore:  

x - 2,  if x > 5

To find the range (output values) of the expression, substitute x = 5 into the expression:

⇒ 5 - 2 = 3

Therefore, |x - 2| > 3,  if x > 5
