You have the following intersection:

(-2 < 2x - 6) ∩ (3x - 12 ≤ 10)

The intersection of the previous inequalitues gives a unique interval result. To calculate such an interval you first solve each of the implied inequalities:

-2 < 2x - 6 sum 6 both sides

-2 + 6 < 2x - 6 + 6

4 < 2x divide by 2 both sides

4/2 < 2x/2

2 < x

x > 2

3x - 12 ≤ 10 sum 12 both sides

3x - 12 + 12 ≤ 10 + 12

3x ≤ 22 divide by 3 both sides

x ≤ 22/3

x ≤ 7.333...

Then, you have that x>2 and also x≤7.333...

Hence, the solution of the intersection to both inequalities is:

x/x ∈ (2 , 22/3]

The upper limit is a closed parenthesis because of the lower or equal symbol.
