abs%284%28p-2%29%29%3C4
4abs%28p-2%29%3C4
abs%28p-2%29%3C1


Either p-2 nonzero
p-2%3C1
p%3C3
OR
-p%2B2%3C1
p-2%3E-1
p%3E1


Check the three intervals to be sure, but 1%3Cp%3C3.

?
abs(4(p-2))<4
abs(4(0-2)<4
abs(-8)<4
false
abs(4(2-2))<4
0<4
true
abs(4(4-2))<4
abs(4*2)<4
false

The given statement in the post can be interpreted at least in  3  (three,  THREE)  different ways.


THEREFORE,  it can not be considered as a  Math problem,  at all.


In addition,  this post came with no question,  which makes it absolutely non-sensical.


Good only to throw it to the closest garbage bin and forget forever.
