Evaluate
3(x−1)
Apply the distributive property
3x−3×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
3x−3
x−6=3x−3
Move the expression to the left side
x−6−(3x−3)=0
Calculate

Evaluate
x−3x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(1−3)x
Subtract the numbers
−2x
−2x−6+3
Add the numbers
−2x−3
−2x−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2x=3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x=−3
Divide both sides
22x=2−3
Divide the numbers
x=2−3
Solution
x=−23
