x-8>6

Add 8 to both sides:
x > 14 is the answer.

Draw a straight line and mark off the numbers on it (include 14).

Either draw a ring or a filled in circle at x=14 to denote "greater than"...your book will tell you the symbol to use. Then highlight the number line from 14 above ie 15, 16, 17, 18, etc.

x-8>6. ----(1)
Adding 8 to both the sides
(x-8)+8 > 6 +8
x-8+8 >14
x+0>14
x>14
Draw a horizontal line. This is going to be our number line.
Mark a point O on it and this O is the point on the number line
that represents the number zero.
Measure on some scale (say cm scale)14 cms and with O as centre
and radius = 14 cms draw an arc to the right of O on the number line
to cut the number line at P
All points on the number line to the right of this point P
represent our set of points x
