I completed this problem but I am not sure if it goes like this.
3x-6=-3(2-x) problem
My answer
3x-6=-6-x
3x+x=-6+6
4x=0

You made some mistakes here when multiplying the brackets, the left and right sides are the same:
3x-6 = -3(2-x) \\
3x-6 = -6+3x (you see here that -3*-x = +3x, whereas you had it as -x)
3x-6 = 3x-6
since both left and right sides are the same, any x will solve the equation.
Is it possible that you made some mistakes before this?
