Multiply through by 3:



Cancel the 3's on the right:

 



Distribute:



Add 6 to both sides:



Now you can go two ways from here.

1. Standard form:



Add -2x to both sides:



Multiply by -1 so first term will be positive:



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

OR

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

2. Slope-intercept form:



Divide through by 3
