Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
3/4 x − 6 = 3

Step 1: Add 6 to both sides.

3/4 x− 6 + 6 = 3 + 6

3/4 x = 9

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 4/3.

(4/3) * (3/4 x) = (4/3) * (9)

x=12

The answer is x=12

To solve for x, the most important thing you can do is get x all alone on one side. Your first step is to add six on both sides. Your new equation would look like this:

3/4x=9

You would add six on both sides to get rid of six on the side with x on it.

Your next step would be to multiply each side by 4/3. This is because that gets rid of 3/4 on the side with x. So, 4/3 times 3/4 equals one, and 9 times 4/3 equals four.

X=12
To check it, plug 4 in where x would be.

3/4(12)-6=3
9-6=3
3=3
