How do we go from $d(x,x') \le d(x,y) +d(y,y') +d(y',x')$ to $d(x,x') \ge d(y,y') -d(x,y)-d(y',x')$?

How do we go from $d(x,x') \le d(x,y) +d(y,y') +d(y',x')$ to $d(x,x') \ge d(y,y') -d(x,y)-d(y',x')$?

I am not sure how to proceed here.

Subtract $d(x,y)$ and $d(y',x')$ from both sides of your original inequality, and then relabel all $x,x'$ as $y,y'$ and vice versa.
