To solve the equation x/(x+3) + 1/x = 1 - 2x - 3/x^2 + 3x, we first need to find a common denominator for the fractions on the left side of the equation.
The common denominator for x/(x+3) and 1/x is x(x+3). So, we rewrite the equation as:
This equation is always true, which means that the original equation is an identity and holds for all values of x. Therefore, the solution set of the equation x/(x+3) + 1/x = 1 - 2x - 3/x^2 + 3x is all real numbers.

The equation can be rewritten as:
x / (x^3 - 1 / x) = 1 - (2x + 3 / x^2 + 3x)
Multiplying both sides by (x^3 - 1 / x):
x = (x^3 - 1 / x) - (2x + 3 / x^2 + 3x)
Expanding and simplifying:
x = x^3 - 1 / x - 2x - 3 / x^2 - 3x
x = x^3 - 2x - 3 / x^2 - 3x - 1 / x
Combining like terms:
x = x^3 - 5x - 3 / x^2 - 1 / x
Factoring the numerator:
x = (x - 3) - (x^2 + 3x + 1) - 3 / x^2 - 1 / x
Expanding:
x = x^3 + 3x^2 + x - 3x^2 - 9x - 3 - 3 / x^2 - 1 / x
Combining like terms:
x = x^3 - 5x - 3 - 3 / x^2 - 1 / x
Now, we can see that the equation has two possible solutions:
