1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $3x - 6 = 2x - 2$ for $x$. 2. **Write down the equation:** $$3x - 6 = 2x - 2$$ 3. **Isolate the variable terms on one side:** Subtract $2x$ from both sides: $$3x - 6 - \cancel{2x} = \cancel{2x} - 2 - 2x$$ which simplifies to $$3x - 2x - 6 = -2$$ 4. **Simplify the left side:** $$x - 6 = -2$$ 5. **Isolate $x$ by adding 6 to both sides:** $$x - 6 + 6 = -2 + 6$$ which simplifies to $$x = 4$$ 6. **Final answer:** $$\boxed{4}$$
