9%282x-6%29=3%286x%2B8%29 Start with the given equation.


18x-54=18x%2B24 Distribute.


18x=18x%2B24%2B54 Add 54 to both sides.


18x-18x=24%2B54 Subtract 18x from both sides.


0x=24%2B54 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=78 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=78 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
