Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Let's work on isolating (3x - 6). Start by dividing both sides of 3(3x - 6) = 18 by 3, obtaining:

3x - 6 = 6.

Next, add 6 to both sides:

3x = 12

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

x = 4

Steps to solve:

3(3x - 6) = 18

~Distribute left side

9x - 18 = 18

~Add 18 to both sides

9x = 36

~Divide 9 to both sides

x = 4

Best of Luck!
