2x-5-3x-\left(-7\right)=0
To find the opposite of 3x-7, find the opposite of each term.
2x-5-3x+7=0
The opposite of -7 is 7.
-x-5+7=0
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x+2=0
Add -5 and 7 to get 2.
-x=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=2
Multiply both sides by -1.
