Fixing your typos ....
x^2 - 2x - 8 > 0
(x-4)(x+2) > 0
If this were a function, we could see that it is
y = (x-4)(x+2) which would have zeros at 4 and -2
In effect we are looking at where the parabola lies above the x-axis
so it will be
x < -2 OR x > 4
You might have to put that in "interval notation"
