    no, you can't subtract 3x from 6, since they are not like terms. You can think of it as the 6 does not have an x term, but in 3x, there is an x term.

    Let's check that,

    2 (6 - 3x) + x

    = 12 - 6x + x

    = 12 - 5x

    But,

    2 (3) + x

    = 6 + x

    as we can see the results are different hence they are not equal.
