To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
3x - 3 = 6x + 18
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:
-3 = 3x + 18
Next, let's move all the x terms to one side by subtracting 3x from both sides:
-3 - 3x = 18
Now, isolate x by subtracting 18 from both sides:
-3 - 3x - 18 = 0
-3x - 21 = 0
Now, divide by -3 on both sides to solve for x:
x = -7
Therefore, the solution is x = -7.
