The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.

If you were to solve the equation it would look like this:

2x+6=3x-8

-3x -3x

-x+6=-8

-6 -6

-x=-14

/-1 /-1

x=14

Diego subtracted 2x from the left side which gave him 6 and subtracted 2x from the right side of the equation to get x-8
