x > 2

Explanation:

First, let's put the words into an inequality.

"Twice the sum of x and 8" is 2(x+8)
"The difference of 32 and 6x" is 32-6x

The first expression is greater than the second expression, so we get:

2(x+8) > 32-6x

Let's simplify the left side of the inequality.

2(x+8) > 32-6x ->

2x+16 > 32-6x

Now we can solve for x.

2x+16 > 32-6x ->

8x > 16 ->

x > 2
