You can do it this way also:
Start canceling positives or negatives isolating the X. Here substract 2 in bouth sides so the +2 that is on the X side cancels.
1/3X + 2 -2 = 6 -2
1/3X        = 4
Now you can cancel 1/3 by the opposite, multiply that by 3 in bouth sides two then:

3 * 1/3X    = 4 * 3
3/3X        = 12
Three over Three cancels
X = 12
