1. Problem Description

We are asked to find an equivalent inequality to 3x2<x+4x23x - 2 < \frac{x+4}{x-2}.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's move all terms to one side of the inequality:
3x2x+4x2<03x - 2 - \frac{x+4}{x-2} < 0
Next, we find a common denominator and combine the terms:
(3x2)(x2)(x+4)x2<0\frac{(3x-2)(x-2) - (x+4)}{x-2} < 0
Expand the numerator:
3x26x2x+4x4x2<0\frac{3x^2 - 6x - 2x + 4 - x - 4}{x-2} < 0
Simplify the numerator:
3x29xx2<0\frac{3x^2 - 9x}{x-2} < 0
Therefore, the equivalent inequality is 3x29xx2<0\frac{3x^2 - 9x}{x-2} < 0.

3. Final Answer

3x29xx2<0\frac{3x^2 - 9x}{x-2} < 0
