$$\frac{x - 2}{4 - x} \geq 0$$
(x - 2)/(4 - x) >= 0
Detail solution
Given the inequality:
$$\frac{x - 2}{4 - x} \geq 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\frac{x - 2}{4 - x} = 0$$
Solve:
Given the equation:
$$\frac{x - 2}{4 - x} = 0$$
Multiply the equation sides by the denominator 4 - x
we get:
$$\frac{\left(2 - x\right) \left(4 - x\right)}{x - 4} = 0$$
Expand brackets in the left part
2+x4+x-4+x = 0

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
(2 - x)*(4 - x)/(-4 + x) = 0

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{\left(2 - x\right) \left(4 - x\right)}{x - 4} + 4 = 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by (4 + (2 - x)*(4 - x)/(-4 + x))/x
x = 4 / ((4 + (2 - x)*(4 - x)/(-4 + x))/x)

$$x_{1} = 2$$
$$x_{1} = 2$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = 2$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} \leq x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10} + 2$$
=
$$\frac{19}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$\frac{x - 2}{4 - x} \geq 0$$
$$\frac{-2 + \frac{19}{10}}{4 - \frac{19}{10}} \geq 0$$
-1/21 >= 0

but
-1/21 < 0

Then
$$x \leq 2$$
no execute
the solution of our inequality is:
$$x \geq 2$$
