Explanation:
#"distribute parenthesis on left side of equation"#
#6-3x+6x=18larrcolor(blue)"simplify left side"#
#rArr6+3x=18#
#"subtract 6 from both sides"#
#cancel(6)cancel(-6)+3x=18-6#
#rArr3x=12#
#"divide both sides by 3"#
#(cancel(3) x)/cancel(3)=12/3#
#rArrx=4#
#color(blue)"As a check"# Substitute this value into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is the solution.
#(3xx-2)+(6xx4)=-6+24=18=" right side"#
#rArrx=4" is the solution"#
