Assuming the "log 6" here is, as you wrote it, really just the standard log of 6, then you can treat it like a constant and solve for x. So log(6)x = 3 and x = 3 / log(6).
If what you really meant is log [base 6] (x) for the first term, then it's a different story. If that's the case, then add 3 to both sides to get log [base 6] (x) = 3, then use the definition of a log to convert this to x = 6^3.

I assume you mean log to the base 6.
(log6)x = 3
x = 6^3 = 216

(log6)X-3=0
=> (log6)X = 3
=> x = 3 / log6
=> x = 3.855

log(base 6) x - 3 = 0, is this what you want?
x = 6^3 = 216
