    -3(x+3)= -3(x+1)-5
    -3x+9=-3x+3-5 
    so you would have just distributed then you combine like terms and get
    -3x+9=-3x-2
    then add two to both sides and get
    -3x+9=-3x-2
    -3x+2=-3x+2
    -3x+11=-3x
    +3x+11=+3x
    0x+11=0x 
    so 11+0x 
    divide both by zero and you get x+0
