follow the instructions as @ParthKohli said
add 8x so -3=-2x+8x+21
then simplify -3=6x+21
after that add 3 0=6x+21+3
now simplify that 0=6x+24

now do you want to solve for x?
if so subtract 24 -24=6x then divide by x to get x on its own so x=-24/6 x=-4
@ParthKohli you missed one step
X=-4 you need to make sure and combine like terms you can only have X's on one side :)
