B) $- \frac { 1 } { 9 }$
C) $- \frac { 1 } { 3 }$
D) $- - \frac { 1 } { 3 }$

First, distribute the 3 on the left side: 3(6x - 2) = 18x - 6. The equation becomes 18x - 6 = 9x - 9. Subtract 9x from both sides to get 9x - 6 = -9. Add 6 to both sides to get 9x = -3. Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x, giving x = -1/3.
