2-x-5=3\left(3-x\right)
To find the opposite of x+5, find the opposite of each term.
-3-x=3\left(3-x\right)
Subtract 5 from 2 to get -3.
-3-x=9-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3-x.
-3-x+3x=9
Add 3x to both sides.
-3+2x=9
Combine -x and 3x to get 2x.
2x=9+3
Add 3 to both sides.
2x=12
Add 9 and 3 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=6
Divide 12 by 2 to get 6.
