and Welcome to OpenStudy :)

compassionate · Answer

$$3(x - 3) = \frac{ 6x - 18 }{ 2 } \rightarrow 3x - 9 = 3x - 9$$

Basically what I di was distribute the 3. 
On the right side, I divided the entire equation by the Highest Common Denominator, which is 2. 

Giving you the equation: 3x - 9 = 3x - 9 

Now, just solve like a normal linear equation.

anonymous · Answer

so I solved it but got no solution. not sure if that's rights??

compassionate · Answer

Correct. There is no solution. 

3x - 9 = 3x - 9 

3x - 9 + 9 = 3x - 9 + 9 
3x = 3x 
x = x 
0
