Let's solve the equation step by step:

The initial equation is: \[ 3(x + 2) - 6 = 3x \]

  1. Distribute \( 3 \) on the left side: \[ 3x + 6 - 6 = 3x \] \[ 3x = 3x \]

  2. Now, we simplify: \[ 3x = 3x \]

This equation is always true for any value of \( x \), meaning the left and right sides are identical.

Since we end up with \( 3x = 3x \), which is true for any \( x \), the equation has infinite solutions.

Thus, the correct response is: "The equation has infinite solutions."
