We want all values of t that make 4t + 2 greater than 10.

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with t:
    4t + 2 - 2 > 10 - 2, so 4t > 8.
  2. Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the direction of the inequality does not change:
    t > 8/4, so t > 2.

Final answer: t > 2.

In interval notation: (2, ∞).

Quick check: if t = 3, then 4(3) + 2 = 14 > 10 (true). If t = 2, then 4(2) + 2 = 10 > 10 (false), so 2 is not included.
