Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
6 + 2x + -3x = -3 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
6 + -1x = -3 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
6 + -1x = -3 + 0
6 + -1x = -3

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -1x = -3 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -1x = -3 + -6
-1x = -3 + -6

Combine like terms: -3 + -6 = -9
-1x = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9
