+-39+=+3%2A%28+x+-+3+%29+-+6x+
+-39+=+3x+-+9+-+6x+
This will look easier if I multiply both sides by +-1+
+39+=+-3x+%2B+9+%2B+6x+
Do the operation on the right side
+39+=+3x+%2B+9+
Subtract 9 from both sides
+30+=+3x+
Divide both sides by 3
+x+=+10+
------------------------------
check the answer:
+-39+=+3%2A%28+10+-+3+%29+-+6%2A10+
+-39+=+3%2A7+-+60+
+-39+=+21+-+60+
+-39+=+-39+
OK
