Answer:

(0,6)

Explanation:

Hello!

Since the problem is only using the x-values, we can just keep the y-value constant.

If we move 3 units to the right, you add 3 to the x-value. If you move 6 units to the left, you subtract 6 from the x-value. So adding 3 and subtracting 6 gives us -3, relative to the starting point.

Since you subtracted 3 to get to -3, we can add 3 to -3 to find the starting point. It will give us 0.

The starting point is (0,6).
