Answer: x > 4

Explanation- Suppose that x is some number so 6 times a number is 6*x. 20 more than that number is 20 + x. If you put it together the inequality would be 6x > 20 + x. Subtracting x from both sides would result in 5x > 20. Dividing by 5 gives you x > 4 which is the final answer. So the possible values of that number is anything greater than 4.

Hope this helped.
