algebra: x/2 = 3

Please help me with this one. I don't understand my teacher.

. . .x/2 = 3

Think: Opposite, Undo, or Inverse.
Goal: Make 'x' lonely - get it by itself.
Ask: How are things attached to it?

x/2 = 3

There's a '2' there.
It is attached by division.
Use multiplication to move it.

2*(x/2) = 2*(3)
x*(2/2) = 6
x*(1) = 6
x = 6

Also remember that:
if a/x = b/y, then ay = bx (crisscross multiplication)

you have: x/2 = 3/1 : capish?
