Explanation:

Add 2x to both sides

-3x=6

Divide both sides by-3

x=-2

_____

First you want to separate the variable terms and constant terms. Here, that is done by adding the opposite of -2x to both sides.

Then you want to divide by the coefficient of x, so you have the variable by itself. Since the coefficient after the first step is -3, you divide both sides by -3.
