Answer: 9x - 2y = 18

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions are a bit of a pain, but luckily we can multiply both sides by the denominator 3 to clear out the fraction.


3x - 6 = (2)/(3)y\\\\3(3x - 6) = 3*(2)/(3)y\\\\9x-18 = 2y\\\\

Now the task is to get the equation into Ax+By = C form like so:


9x-18 = 2y\\\\9x = 2y+18\\\\9x-2y = 18\\\\

The equation is now in Ax+By = C form with A = 9, B = -2 and C = 18.
