x-5-12-\left(-2x\right)=0
To find the opposite of 12-2x, find the opposite of each term.
x-5-12+2x=0
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
x-17+2x=0
Subtract 12 from -5 to get -17.
3x-17=0
Combine x and 2x to get 3x.
3x=17
Add 17 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{17}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
