1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{6d}{2d - 1} = 2d$$.
2. **Use the formula and rules:** To solve for $d$, multiply both sides by the denominator $2d - 1$ to eliminate the fraction, but remember $2d - 1 \neq 0$ to avoid division by zero.
3. Multiply both sides:
$$\frac{6d}{2d - 1} \times (2d - 1) = 2d \times (2d - 1)$$
which simplifies to
$$6d = 2d(2d - 1)$$
4. Expand the right side:
$$6d = 4d^2 - 2d$$
5. Bring all terms to one side:
$$0 = 4d^2 - 2d - 6d$$
which simplifies to
$$0 = 4d^2 - 8d$$
6. Factor out the common factor $4d$:
$$0 = 4d(d - 2)$$
7. Set each factor equal to zero:
$$4d = 0 \implies d = 0$$
$$d - 2 = 0 \implies d = 2$$
8. Check for restrictions: The denominator $2d - 1 \neq 0$ implies
$$2d - 1 \neq 0 \implies d \neq \frac{1}{2}$$
9. Both $d=0$ and $d=2$ do not violate the restriction, so both are valid solutions.
**Final answer:** $$d = 0 \text{ or } d = 2$$
