To determine if the expressions (-12x - 18) and (-6x - 9 - 3(3 - 2x)) are equivalent, we can simplify the second expression. Distributing the (-3) gives (-6x - 9 - 9 + 6x), which simplifies to (-18). Thus, the expression simplifies to (-18), while the first expression is (-12x - 18). Since the two expressions are not the same (the first has a variable term), they are not equivalent.
