Two critical values are for x at 4 and x at 10. You have an inequality relating to 0, so you just need to analyze for sign in the three intervals on x which the critical values form. Note, , because you have a strict inequality. Also because the left rational member is there undefined.

Picking any specific value of x in each interval could be helpful in checking for signs.

(-infinity, 4)
(+)/(-)>0
FALSE

(4, 10)
(+)/(+)>0
TRUE

(10, infinity)
(-)/(+)>0
FALSE

The solution is
OR
( 4, 10 )
