Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 6(5x + 3) = 9x + 6.

Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by 5x + 3.

3x - 30x - 18 = 9x + 6

Combine 3x and -30x to get -27x.

-27x - 18 = 9x + 6

Subtract 9x from both sides.

-27x - 9x - 18 = 9x - 9x + 6

-36x - 18 = 6

Add 18 to both sides.

-36x - 18 + 18 = 6 + 18

-36x = 24

Divide both sides by -36.
