Explanation:

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation:

5x - (x + 3) = 3(2 - 2x) + x

Expanding the right-side expression:

5x - (x + 3) = 6 - 6x + x

Combining like terms on both sides:

6x - 3 = 6 - 5x

Adding 5x and 3 to both sides:

11x = 9

Dividing both sides by 11:

x = 9/11

So the value of x is approximately 0.818181818.
