l2x+6l > 10
---> 2x+6 > 10 OR -2x-6 > 10
2x > 4 or -2x > 16
x > 2 or x < -8
think of the positive number line, which integer x do you have so that x > 2 ?

this is kind of a solve by inspection (and thought) problem
the "magic" value is 10 ... 2x + 6 must be GREATER than 10 (not equal to)
how small can x (a positive integer) be , if 2x must be greater than 4?
