Solve step-by-step:
3x - 2(6x - 3) = 42
3x - 12x + 6 = 42 (distribute -2)
-9x + 6 = 42
-9x = 36 (subtract 6)
x = -4 (divide by -9)
Check: 3(-4) - 2(6(-4) - 3) = -12 - 2(-27) = -12 + 54 = 42. So x = -4.
3x - 2(6x - 3) = 42
3x - 12x + 6 = 42 (distribute -2)
-9x + 6 = 42
-9x = 36 (subtract 6)
x = -4 (divide by -9)
Check: 3(-4) - 2(6(-4) - 3) = -12 - 2(-27) = -12 + 54 = 42. So x = -4.
