\frac{3+2x}{5}-2-\left(-\frac{3-x}{3}\right)=x
To find the opposite of 2-\frac{3-x}{3}, find the opposite of each term.
\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-2-\left(-\frac{3-x}{3}\right)=x
Divide each term of 3+2x by 5 to get \frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x.
\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{10}{5}-\left(-\frac{3-x}{3}\right)=x
Convert 2 to fraction \frac{10}{5}.
\frac{3-10}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\left(-\frac{3-x}{3}\right)=x
Since \frac{3}{5} and \frac{10}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\left(-\frac{3-x}{3}\right)=x
Subtract 10 from 3 to get -7.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\left(-\left(1-\frac{1}{3}x\right)\right)=x
Divide each term of 3-x by 3 to get 1-\frac{1}{3}x.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\left(-1-\left(-\frac{1}{3}x\right)\right)=x
To find the opposite of 1-\frac{1}{3}x, find the opposite of each term.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\left(-1+\frac{1}{3}x\right)=x
The opposite of -\frac{1}{3}x is \frac{1}{3}x.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\left(-1\right)-\frac{1}{3}x=x
To find the opposite of -1+\frac{1}{3}x, find the opposite of each term.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x+1-\frac{1}{3}x=x
The opposite of -1 is 1.
-\frac{7}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{3}x=x
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{5}{5}.
\frac{-7+5}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{1}{3}x=x
Since -\frac{7}{5} and \frac{5}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{1}{3}x=x
Add -7 and 5 to get -2.
-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{15}x=x
Combine \frac{2}{5}x and -\frac{1}{3}x to get \frac{1}{15}x.
-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{15}x-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
-\frac{2}{5}-\frac{14}{15}x=0
Combine \frac{1}{15}x and -x to get -\frac{14}{15}x.
-\frac{14}{15}x=\frac{2}{5}
Add \frac{2}{5} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{2}{5}\left(-\frac{15}{14}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{15}{14}, the reciprocal of -\frac{14}{15}.
x=\frac{2\left(-15\right)}{5\times 14}
Multiply \frac{2}{5} times -\frac{15}{14} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{-30}{70}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{2\left(-15\right)}{5\times 14}.
x=-\frac{3}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-30}{70} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.
