We have the following inequality:


13(x-6)>2

and we need to solve for x.

Then, by dividing both sides by 13, we have


x-6>(2)/(13)

and by adding 6 to both sides, we obtain


x>(2)/(13)+6

which can be written as


x>(2)/(13)+(78)/(13)

so, we can add the fractions and get


x>(80)/(13)

Finally, by converting this result into mixed fraction form, we have


x>6(2)/(13)

Therefore, the answer is: x is greater than 6.
