I suggest rewriting as \(\dfrac{(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+1)}\ge\dfrac{(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-1)}\)

There may be a special way to solve this one, but the standard approach is to subtract one side from the other, like [MATH]\dfrac{(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+1)} - \dfrac{(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-1)}\ge 0[/MATH] and then combine the fractions. Then you can work with factors to find when the LHS is positive or zero.
