3x+3-2\times 2\left(x-3\right)=36x+4\left(9-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.
3x+3-4\left(x-3\right)=36x+4\left(9-6\right)
Multiply -2 and 2 to get -4.
3x+3-4x+12=36x+4\left(9-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x-3.
-x+3+12=36x+4\left(9-6\right)
Combine 3x and -4x to get -x.
-x+15=36x+4\left(9-6\right)
Add 3 and 12 to get 15.
-x+15=36x+4\times 3
Subtract 6 from 9 to get 3.
-x+15=36x+12

-37x+15=12
Combine -x and -36x to get -37x.
-37x=12-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
-37x=-3
Subtract 15 from 12 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-37}
Divide both sides by -37.
x=\frac{3}{37}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-37} can be simplified to \frac{3}{37} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
