2x-3x-\left(-5\right)=3+1-2x
To find the opposite of 3x-5, find the opposite of each term.
2x-3x+5=3+1-2x
The opposite of -5 is 5.
-x+5=3+1-2x
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x+5=4-2x
Add 3 and 1 to get 4.
-x+5+2x=4
Add 2x to both sides.
x+5=4
Combine -x and 2x to get x.
x=4-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
x=-1
Subtract 5 from 4 to get -1.
