The provided inequality is:
\(\frac{4}{x-2} > \frac{7}{x-3}\)
To solve it, first find a common denominator:
\((x-2)(x-3)\)
Then multiply both sides by the common denominator, being careful to consider that it can change sign based on the value of \(x\):
\(4(x-3) > 7(x-2)\)
Now distribute and move all terms to one side:
\(4x - 12 > 7x - 14\)
Subtract \(4x\) and add \(14\) to both sides:
\(-12 + 14 > 7x - 4x\)
Simplify:
\(2 > 3x\)
Now, divide by 3:
\(\frac{2}{3} > x\)
So, the solution in terms of \(x\) is:
\(x < \frac{2}{3}\)
However, since the denominators in the original fractions were \(x-2\) and \(x-3\), we must exclude 2 and 3 from the domain of \(x\). Thus, along with the inequality above, we have the domain restrictions:
\(x \neq 2\) and \(x \neq 3\)
Combining these, the final solution is:
\(x < \frac{2}{3}\), \(x \neq 2\), \(x \neq 3\)
