HELP!

The result of each step is shown below:

x
2x
(2x)(3) = 6x
6x+24
x+6
6
The result is always 6
I don't get the same number!!
I showed my work. Why not show yours? Maybe we can come to some agreement...
AHA! My mistake. 24/6=4, not 6.
Granted I was wrong, you should have caught my error and noted it, rather than just saying we disagreed.
