First of all you may want to simplify the left side of the inequality.
We get:
6x-10>2x+6
Now, I don't now if you have any experience in solving regular equations, but inequalities work in exactly the same way. The only exception to this is that when you transfer a minus sign from one side to another you have to change the inequality symbol(e.g. -1<5 so 1>-5)
So, if we treat the inequality as an equation, we get that:
6x-10>2x+6
=> 6x>2x+16
=> 4x>16
=> x>4
We get:
6x-10>2x+6
