to satisfy inequality, (x+2)(x+3)/(x-2) is either zero or positive
In order to make it zero, there are only two possible values: -2 and -3 (makes numerator zero and the whole function will be zero)
In order to make it positive, any positive value >2 will make the function positive. as per que values needed less than 5, hence 3 and 4 are possible values here.
In total -2, -3, 3 and 4 are four possible solutions.
