I don't know how to make a 'greater than' sign.

6x is greater than x + 20
6x - x is greater than 20
5x is greater than 20
x is greater than 20 divided by 5
x is greater than 4

So, any number greater than 4 will work in this equation.

6 times a number is greater than 20 more than that number

6 times a number means 6 times x
is greater than means >
20 more than that number means 20+x


6x>20+x
minus x both sides
5x>20
divide both sides by 5
x>4

x is any number more than 4
