First off, let's combine some like terms and move all terms to one side. 

 

We get 6x221x31=0. Unfortunately, this can't be factored without radicals, so let's use the Qudratic Formula. 

 

We get x=21±(21)246(31)26. Simplifying, we get 

x=1185+2112x=1185+2112

 

We want to take the biggest value of x we could, which would be x=1185+2112

 

Thanks! :)
