2+3\left(x-3x-1\right)=5\left(x-\left(2x-1\right)\right)e
To find the opposite of 3x+1, find the opposite of each term.
2+3\left(-2x-1\right)=5\left(x-\left(2x-1\right)\right)e
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
2-6x-3=5\left(x-\left(2x-1\right)\right)e
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by -2x-1.
-1-6x=5\left(x-\left(2x-1\right)\right)e
Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.
-1-6x=5\left(x-2x-\left(-1\right)\right)e
To find the opposite of 2x-1, find the opposite of each term.
-1-6x=5\left(x-2x+1\right)e
The opposite of -1 is 1.
-1-6x=5\left(-x+1\right)e
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
-1-6x=\left(-5x+5\right)e
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by -x+1.
-1-6x=-5xe+5e
Use the distributive property to multiply -5x+5 by e.
-1-6x+5xe=5e
Add 5xe to both sides.
-6x+5xe=5e+1
Add 1 to both sides.
\left(-6+5e\right)x=5e+1
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(5e-6\right)x=5e+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(5e-6\right)x}{5e-6}=\frac{5e+1}{5e-6}
Divide both sides by -6+5e.
x=\frac{5e+1}{5e-6}
Dividing by -6+5e undoes the multiplication by -6+5e.
