\huge\textbf{Hey there!}


\mathsf{x - 3 = -6}\\\\\large\text{ADD 3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{x - 3 + \bold{3} =-6 + \bf 3}\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: -3 + 3 because it give you 0}\\\\\large\text{KEEP: -6 + 3 because it gives you the result of the x-value}\\\\\large\text{NEW EQUATION: x = -6 + 3}\\\\\large\text{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\mathsf{x = -3}\\\\\\\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x = -3}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\textbf{Good luck on your assignment \&}\\\huge\textbf{enjoy your day!}
