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