Explanation:

To solve the equation -3x-6 = 18 for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, we can add 6 to both sides of the equation to get:

-3x = 24

Then, we can divide both sides of the equation by -3 to get:

x = -8

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -8.
