The easiest way to solve this is to get x by itself. Here is how you do it:

3x= 2x + 6

First subtract 2x from each side

3x- 2x = 2x -2x +6

Simplify that down to:

1x=6

That will be your answer because x and 1x are the same.  

x=6

To check, plug the answer back into the equation.  

3(6)=2(6)+6

18=12+6

18=18

So that verifies that x=6
