Can't integrate the "e"s here

Homework Statement


[tex]\int 2/e<sup>3x</sup>(6+e<sup>-3x</sup>)dx[/tex]


Homework Equations


I have no idea as to what equations to use, other than [tex]\int[/tex] e[tex]<sup>u</sup>[/tex] du = e [tex]<sup>u</sup>[/tex] + C


The Attempt at a Solution


[tex]\int[/tex] 2/(6e3x +1) dx
u = 6e3x +1
du = 18e3x dx

and that's as far as I can get, I can't think of what else to do. HELP!

Thanks in advance.

Is it supposed to be this?
[tex]\int \frac{2}{e^{3x}} (6 + e^{-3x}) dx[/tex]

Or this?
[tex]\int \frac{2}{e^{3x} (6 + e^{-3x})} dx[/tex]

If it's the second, then I wouldn't distribute the e^(3x) at all. I would move it to the numerator, and then use substitution: u = (6 + e^(-3x)). Try it and see what happens.
