\ =\ \frac{1}{3}(3x\ -\ 6))
Let's start by getting rid of those pesky fractions. Notice that we have a denominator of 2 on one side and a denominator of 3 on the other side. 2 times 3 is 6, so let's multiply the whole schmierkäse by 6.
\ =\ 2(3x\ -\ 6))
Now use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses:
Add -6x to both sides:
Add -12 to both sides:
Multiply both sides by
