|x-2| means x-2 or -(x-2)
so you have to solve both inequalities
first one:
0 < x -2 < 4
2 < x < 6 by adding 2
second one:
0 < -(x - 2) < 4
0 > x - 2 > -4 by multiplying by -1
2 > x > -2 by adding 2
So the solution set is both solutions, or
2 < x < 6 and -2 < x < 2
Notice that 2 is not included
2<x<6
