(B) Let $|x-2| = y$. Since $|x-2| \ge 0$, we must have $y \ge 0$.Substituting into the equation, we get $y^2 + y - 2 = 0$.Factoring the quadratic equation: $(y+2)(y-1) = 0$.This gives $y = -2$ or $y = 1$.Since $y \ge 0$, we discard $y = -2$. Thus, $y = 1$.Now, solve $|x-2| = 1$:$x-2 = 1$ or $x-2 = -1$.$x = 3$ or $x = 1$.The real roots are $3$ and $1$.The sum of the roots is $3 + 1 = 4$.
