6%28x-5%29=3%28x%2B9%29%2F-3
-3%286x%29-%28-3%29%2830%29=-3%283%28x%2B9%29%2F-3%29 ---This is not an easy step, I think I'll need to explain. So 6(x-5) = 6x-30, and you multiply the LCM of all denominators(-3) to all terms which means -3(6x)-(-3)(30), then multiply -3 to the fraction.
-18x-%28-90%29=1%283x%2B27%29
-18x%2B90=3x%2B27
-21x=-63
x=3
