As a function of x means f(x), which is also known as y. So isolate y.
Take 2x on both sides
2x -2x -3y = -6 - 2x
Now you have:
-3y = -6 - 2x
Now divide both sides by -3:
-3y/3 = -6/-3 -2x/-3
Now,
y = 2 + 2x/3
or in the y = mx + b form
y = 2x/3 + 2

and 3y to both sides of equation and divide by 2
x = 1.5y -3

-3y = -2x-6
y= 2x/3 + 2

x=(3y-6)/2 or
2x=3y-6
By the way, I am an algebra genius.
