Doesn't look solvable with algebraic methods. In general once x appears in both the base and the exponent it's time to use the GC.
Differentiating both sides in an attempt to make the equation algebraic isn't valid either.

Without further knowledge, this question cannot be solved algebraically. I used the Desmos online graphing calculator to plot both graphs and subsequently zoomed in on the intersection of approximately 2.80852.
The red graph is the graph of (2 - x)^-2 while the blue graph is the graph of ln (2x - 1).
For (2 - x)^-2 to have a greater value than ln (2x - 1), the red graph must lie above the blue graph.
By inspection of the entire region (both the negative x and positive x regions),
x < 2.80852.
