by (15.9k points)

Observe that \(\frac{5-x}{x - 2}\) is zero at x = 5 and not defined at x = 2 

Hence plotting these two points on number line

Now for x > 5, \(\frac{5-x}{x - 2}\) is negative

for every root and not defined value of  \(\frac{5-x}{x - 2}\) the sign will change

We want the negative part hence x < 2 and x > 5 

x < 2 means x is from negative infinity to 2 and x > 5 means x is from 5 to infinity 

Hence x ∈ (-∞, 2) U (5, ∞) 

Hence solution of \(\frac{3}{x-2}\) is x ∈ (-∞, 2) U (5, ∞)
