1.x - 6 to be positive, x must be > 6. 
2. |5x - 2| > 4 
of the >. 
5x - 2 > 4 and 5x - 2 < -4 
Both the solutions are possible answers. 
3. Just like #1, the absolute value must be positive. 
2x + 1.5 > 0 
2x > -1.5 
2x > -3/2 [I prefer to use a fraction here] 
x > -3/4 
4. |2x + 4| < 8. 
2x + 4 < 8 and 2x + 4 > -8
