2\left(4x+1\right)-\left(x-3\right)=x+5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6.
8x+2-\left(x-3\right)=x+5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x+1.
8x+2-x-\left(-3\right)=x+5
To find the opposite of x-3, find the opposite of each term.
8x+2-x+3=x+5
The opposite of -3 is 3.
7x+2+3=x+5
Combine 8x and -x to get 7x.
7x+5=x+5
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
7x+5-x=5
Subtract x from both sides.
6x+5=5
Combine 7x and -x to get 6x.
6x=5-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
6x=0
Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 6 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
