We will see that the correct option is B:

"It is not true because 3x3 does not equal 3."

Is the equation true?

We have the equation:

6x + 3 = 3(2x + 3)

Now, if we distribute the right side, we will get:

6x + 3 = 32x + 33

6x + 3 = 6x + 9

Subtracting 6x in both sides we get:

3 = 9

This is false, so the equation is false.

The problem is that the 33 on the right side is not equal to the constant term, 3, in the left side.

So the correct option is B.
