Part I : 5x + 2 < 3x + 8.

⇒ 2x < 6 

⇒ x < 3

Part II : (x+2)/(x-1) < 4.

⇒ \(\frac{x+2}{x-1}\) - 4 < 0

⇒ \(\frac{(x+2)-4(x-1)}{x-1}\)< 0

⇒ \(\frac{-3x+6}{x-1}\) < 0

Case I : - 3x + 6 < 0 and x – 1 > 0 

⇒ x > 2 and x > 1 

By taking intersection x ∈ (2, ∞) 

Case II : - 3x + 6 > 0 and x – 1 < 0 

⇒ x < 2 and x < 1 

By takin intersection x ∈ (-∞, 1) 

Taking union of case I and case II, 

x ∈ (-∞, 1) (2, ∞) 

We have to take intersection of part I and part II, 

We have final answer i.e., 

x ∈ (-∞, 1) (2, 3)
