Answer:


x=1.578

Explanation:

Given equation is
3-x = 3(6x-9)

We need to find the value of
x


3-x = 3(6x-9)

Distribute
3 in the right-hand side


3-x=18x-27

Add both sides
x


3-x+x=18x+x-27\\3=19x-27

Now, add both sides
27


3+27=19x-27+27\\30=19x

Divide both sides by
19


(30)/(19)=(19x)/(19)\\x=1.578

So,
x=1.578
