Since x is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.6x−3=136Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.6x−3=6−2Since the bases are the same, then two expressions are only equal if the exponents are also equal.x−3=−2Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation..Since −3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides.x=3−2Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.x=1
