Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:

All Real Solutions/Infinite Solutions

»»————- ★ ————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


3(x-1)-x=3+2(x-3)\\--------------\\\rightarrow 3x - 3 - x = 3 + 2x - 6\\\\\rightarrow 2x - 3 = 3 + 2x - 6\\\\\rightarrow -3 = 3 - 6\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{-3 = -3}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

This is an identity; there are infinitely many solutions.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
