Answer:

x=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C.

Using segment addition property, we get

[tex]AC=AB+BC[/tex]

It is given that AC = 3x + 3, BC = 3, and AB = 2x + 2.

[tex]3x+3=(2x+2)+3[/tex]

[tex]3x+3=2x+5[/tex]

Isolate variable terms.

[tex]3x-2x=5-3[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 2.
