The correct answer for this question is " |x-6| > 4."

All real numbers more than 4 units from 6 (in an absolute value inequality).

We need to translate this sentence into a mathematical inequality.

" ... units from 6 ... "

This means that the distance from 6 to a certain number.

x - 6

Since, we are talking about distance, place it inside an absolute symbol.
