Let's see if x=-6 is a solution.


x%3E6 Start with the given inequality.


-6%3E6 Plug in x=-6.


Since the inequality -6%3E6 is false,this means that x=-6 is not a solution.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's see if x=0 is a solution.


x%3E6 Start with the given inequality.


0%3E6 Plug in x=0.


Since the inequality 0%3E6 is false,this means that x=0 is not a solution.

Let's see if x=6 is a solution.


x%3E6 Start with the given inequality.


6%3E6 Plug in x=6.


Since the inequality 6%3E6 is false,this means that x=6 is not a solution.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's see if x=8 is a solution.


x%3E6 Start with the given inequality.


8%3E6 Plug in x=8.


Since the inequality 8%3E6 is true,this means that x=8 is a solution.
