To solve the equation \( 3(x+2) - 6 = 3x \), let's follow these steps:

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

  2. Simplify the left side: \[ 3x = 3x \]

At this point, we see that both sides of the equation are identical. This means that any value for \( x \) would satisfy the equation.

Since the equation simplifies to a true statement, we conclude that:

The equation has infinite solutions.
