To find out how much each candy bar cost, we can set up an equation based on the information given.

Let's denote the cost of each candy bar as $$ x $$ dollars.

From the information provided:
1. The cost of a soft drink is 3 dollars.
2. The total cost of 6 candy bars is 21 dollars.

We can set up the equation as follows:
$$ 3 + 6x = 21 $$

Now, we can solve this equation to find the cost of each candy bar.
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for $$x$$:
  $$3+6x=21$$
- step1: Move the constant to the right side:
  $$6x=21-3$$
- step2: Subtract the numbers:
  $$6x=18$$
- step3: Divide both sides:
  $$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{18}{6}$$
- step4: Divide the numbers:
  $$x=3$$
The cost of each candy bar is 3 dollars.
Each candy bar costs 3 dollars.
