Lets set up that equation...spent $24 ....this was 6 dollars less ( - 6) than 2 times what he spent (2x)

putting it all together

2x - 6 = 24

solve for x

He spent x (unkonwn) at the game store.
At the grocery store he spent $24 which was  "six dollars less than two times what he spent at the game store." That means 2x - 6.
We have
2x - 6 = 24
Solve the equation for x.
