To solve the equation

\[
\frac{2}{3}(x - 6) = 14.
\]

1. First, isolate \(x - 6\) by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of \(\frac{2}{3}\), which is \(\frac{3}{2}\):

\[
x - 6 = 14 \times \frac{3}{2}.
\]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[
14 \times \frac{3}{2} = 21.
\]

3. Now, substitute this back into the equation:

\[
x - 6 = 21.
\]

4. Add 6 to both sides to solve for \(x\):

\[
x = 21 + 6 = 27.
\]

Thus, the solution is

\[
\boxed{27}.
\]
