Let's break down the problem step-by-step.

### Given:
1. **Vector \(\vec{a}\):** \(\vec{a} = 3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + x\hat{k}\)
2. **Vector \(\vec{b}\):** \(\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} - 6\hat{j}\)
3. **Magnitude of \(\vec{a}\):** \(|\vec{a}| = 9\)

### To Find:
1. **Value of \(x\).**
2. **Magnitude of \( |2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| \).**

### Part (a): Finding \( x \)
The magnitude of vector \(\vec{a}\) is given by:
\[
|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-6)^2 + (x)^2}
\]

Given that \(|\vec{a}| = 9\), we can set up the equation:
\[
9 = \sqrt{3^2 + (-6)^2 + x^2}
\]

Simplifying inside the square root:
\[
9 = \sqrt{9 + 36 + x^2}
\]
\[
9 = \sqrt{45 + x^2}
\]

Square both sides to remove the square root:
\[
81 = 45 + x^2
\]

Isolate \( x^2 \):
\[
81 - 45 = x^2
\]
\[
36 = x^2
\]

Take the square root of both sides:
\[
x = \pm 6
\]

### Part (b): Finding \( |2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| \)

First, compute \(2\vec{a}\):
\[
2\vec{a} = 2(3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + x\hat{k}) = 6\hat{i} - 12\hat{j} + 2x\hat{k}
\]

Now compute \(2\vec{a} - \vec{b}\):
\[
2\vec{a} - \vec{b} = (6\hat{i} - 12\hat{j} + 2x\hat{k}) - (2\hat{i} - 6\hat{j})
\]

Combine like terms:
\[
2\vec{a} - \vec{b} = (6 - 2)\hat{i} + (-12 + 6)\hat{j} + 2x\hat{k}
\]
\[
2\vec{a} - \vec{b} = 4\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + 2x\hat{k}
\]

The magnitude of this vector is:
\[
|2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (-6)^2 + (2x)^2}
\]

Substitute \(x = \pm 6\):
\[
|2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = \sqrt{16 + 36 + (2 \times 6)^2}
\]
\[
|2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = \sqrt{16 + 36 + 144}
\]
\[
|2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = \sqrt{196}
\]
\[
|2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = 14
\]

So, the answers are:
1. **Value of \(x\):** \( x = \pm 6 \)
2. **Magnitude of \( |2\vec{a} - \vec{b}| \):** 14
