I'm solving this eq: sin(x - 1.1556)+(sin(1.1556)*exp(-x/2.2683)) using vpa function but cannot solve, and below are my coding:

syms x;
x = solve(sin(x - 1.1556)+(sin(1.1556)*exp(-x/2.2683)));
vpa(x)
How can i solve this problem?

syms x;
eqn = sin(x - 1.1556)+(sin(1.1556)*exp(-x/2.2683))==0;
solve(eqn,x)
vpasolve(eqn,x)

The equation you have has multiple solutions, see plot below for reference.
If you want to return a particular solution, use vpasolve() with a specifc initial guess near that particular solution
syms x
eqn = sin(x - 1.1556)+(sin(1.1556)*exp(-x/2.2683));
fplot(eqn, [-5 25])
yline(0)
out = double(vpasolve(eqn == 0, x, 4))
