x-6>2
x-6+6>2+6
x>8
In interval notation the solution is: (8,infinity)
If you need to graph this on a number line:
<-------o===========>>
4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13
Some books use a parenthesis instead of an open circle:
<-------(===========>>
4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13

To solve inequality

x - 6 > 2,


add 6 to both sides.  You will get an equivalent inequality 


x - 6 + 6 > 2 + 6,    which is the same as  


x > 8.


It is your answer: x > 8.

Solved.
