To solve this equation, we can follow the next steps:

First: we can sum similar terms like 3x + 3x.

6(x - 1) = 3x + 3x + 6

6(x - 1) = 6x + 6

Then, solve 6(x-1) using the distributive property:

6x - 6 = 6x + 6

Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation:

6x - 6x - 6 = 6x - 6x + 6

0 - 6 = 6

-6 = 6

Since the result is not congruent, we can say that this equation has no solution.
