When M3+ losses 3 electrons,
It becomes M6+.
Hence the oxidation number of M will be +6.
 
Hope it helps

Oxidation no. Of a substance is proportional to the charge on it. In this case the charge is +6 hence oxidation state will be +6.

The oxidation number will be +6 if it loses 3 electrons as its the oxidation state of element in the combining state

Chage is balanced in equation,The answer would be 6.
M+3 >>>>> M+6 + 3e
The answer Can be checked in this way and its always true
