Answer

$x_{g2} = 6.00~m$

Work Step by Step

The proper length of the garage is $L_g = 6.00~m$ Since Garageman is in the garage frame of reference, the length of the garage according to Garageman is $6.00~m$ Since the front of the garage is $x_g = 0$, then the back of the garage is $x_g = 6.00~m$ Therefore, $~~x_{g2} = 6.00~m$
