The answers are

No solution

X=0

X=-1

X=-3

x = - 1

Step by step:

6 (1+3x) = -6x-18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6 (1+3x) = -6x-18

(6) (1) + (6) (3x) = -6x+-18 (Distribute)

6+18x=-6x+-18

18x+6=-6x-18

Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.

18x+6+6x=-6x-18+6x

24x+6=-18

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

24x+6-6=-18-6

24x=-24

Step 4: Divide both sides by 24.
