-3x+6=-\left(x+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-2.
-3x+6=-x-5
To find the opposite of x+5, find the opposite of each term.
-3x+6+x=-5
Add x to both sides.
-2x+6=-5
Combine -3x and x to get -2x.
-2x=-5-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-2x=-11
Subtract 6 from -5 to get -11.
x=\frac{-11}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{11}{2}
Fraction \frac{-11}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{11}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
