#x=6#

Assuming you mean solving this for #x#, you would first divide both sides of the equation by #-2#, leaving

#(x-3)=3#

Then you would add #3# to both sides. Therefore

#x=6#

#color(magenta)(x=6#

#-2(x-3)=-6#

#-2x+6=-6#

#-2x=-6-6#

#-2x=-12#

#x=-12/-2#

#color(magenta)(x=6#

~Hope this helps! :)
