1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{6 - 18x}{2} \times \frac{5}{1 - 3x}$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{6 - 18x}{2} \times \frac{5}{1 - 3x}$$
3. **Factor where possible:**
Notice that $6 - 18x$ can be factored as $6(1 - 3x)$.
So the expression becomes:
$$\frac{6(1 - 3x)}{2} \times \frac{5}{1 - 3x}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{\cancel{6}(1 - 3x)}{\cancel{2}} \times \frac{5}{1 - 3x} = 3(1 - 3x) \times \frac{5}{1 - 3x}$$
5. **Cancel common factors:**
The $(1 - 3x)$ terms cancel out:
$$3 \cancel{(1 - 3x)} \times \frac{5}{\cancel{(1 - 3x)}} = 3 \times 5$$
6. **Multiply remaining terms:**
$$3 \times 5 = 15$$
**Final answer:**
$$15$$
