x^{2}-5x+6+x=x^{2}-5
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by x-2 and combine like terms.
x^{2}-4x+6=x^{2}-5
Combine -5x and x to get -4x.
x^{2}-4x+6-x^{2}=-5
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-4x+6=-5
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-4x=-5-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-4x=-11
Subtract 6 from -5 to get -11.
x=\frac{-11}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{11}{4}
Fraction \frac{-11}{-4} can be simplified to \frac{11}{4} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
