Since the numerator is positive, the denominator must be negative.



The critical numbers and 2 and -3

test region   test value    (+ or -)?    < 0?  
 x < -3           -4            +          no
-3 < x < 2         0            -         yes
   x > 2           3            +          no

So the solution is -3 < x < 2 

Interval notation (-3, 2)
