To solve the equation \( 3x - 3 = 6x + 18 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Start with the equation: \[ 3x - 3 = 6x + 18 \]
-
Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides: \[ -3 = 3x + 18 \]
-
Next, subtract \( 18 \) from both sides: \[ -3 - 18 = 3x \] \[ -21 = 3x \]
-
Now, divide both sides by \( 3 \): \[ x = -7 \]
Thus, the solution for \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{-7} \]
This matches one of the provided options.
