How do I show that $text{dist}(x,A)=varepsilon + text{dist}(x,B_{varepsilon}(A))$, if $text{dist}(x,A)gt...

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $Asubset X$ a non-empty subset. Define $B_{varepsilon}(A):={y in X: text{dist}(y,A)leqvarepsilon}$. I want to prove that if $xin X$ with $text{dist}(x,A)gt varepsilon$, then
$$text{dist}(x,A)=varepsilon + text{dist}(x,B_{varepsilon}(A)).$$
I already showed $text{dist}(x,A)leqvarepsilon + text{dist}(x,B_{varepsilon}(A))$, but I struggle showing $text{dist}(x,A)geqvarepsilon + text{dist}(x,B_{varepsilon}(A)).$

You have difficulty with this because it is false! Let $X=mathbb N$ with the discrete metric. Let $A={1}$. Then $B_{epsilon}(A)=A$ for $0<epsilon <1$. Take $x=2$ to get a counterexample.
