Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

1. Rearrange terms


2(-3x+3)=-18

2. Distribute


-6x+6=-18

3. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation


-6x+6-6=-18-6

4. Simplify by subtracting the numbers


-6x + 6-6=-18-6


-6x=-18-6


-6x=-24

5. Divide both sides of the equation by the same factor


(-6x)/(-6) = (-24)/(-6)

6. Simplify

a) Simplify the fraction


(-6x)/(-6) = (-24)/(-6)


x = (-24)/(-6)

b) Divide the numbers


x=+4

7. Remove the postive sign.


x=4
