how to solve 3y = 6x - 9

You can't solve for both X and Y with only a single equation. You need two equations with both X and Y. With the one shown equation you can get

y = (6x - 9)/3 = 6x/3 - 9/3 = 2x- 3

6x = 3y+9,

then x = (3y + 9)/6 = 3y/6 + 9/6 = y/2 + 3

If there were a second equation with X and Y we would be able to replace X or Y with one of the above expressions and solve for the other variable.
