The solution to the equation is x = 33/5.

We can start by simplifying both sides of the equation using the distributive property and combining like terms:

4/3 (x + 6) = 2x - 3 + x

4/3 x + 8 = 3x - 3

Next, we can isolate the variable x on one side of the equation by subtracting 4/3 x and adding 3 to both sides:

4/3 x - 3x = -8 - 3

-5/3 x = -11

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -5/3:

x = -11 / (-5/3)

x = 33/5

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 33/5.
