$6 x + 18$ $6x +18$

You would be simplifying rather than solving because this is an expression and not an equation.

Use the distributive law to multiply the 6 outside the bracket by each term inside the bracket.

$6 (x + 3) = 6 x + 18$ $6(x + 3) = 6x +18$

The terms are unlike so cannot be added together.
This is the final anwer.
