3\log _62+2\log _63-\log _6x=2

Bring up the coefficients as exponents:


\log _62^3+\log _63^2-\log _6x=2

Apply product rule of log and quotient rule:


\log _6((2^3*3^2)/x)=2
\log _{6\text{ }}((8*9)/x)=2
\log _{6\text{ }}(72)/(x)=2

If log6 (72/x) = 2, then 72/x= 6^2


72/x=6^2
72/x=36
72/36\text{ = x}
x=2
