2-x-\left(-3\right)=6x
To find the opposite of x-3, find the opposite of each term.
2-x+3=6x
The opposite of -3 is 3.
5-x=6x
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
5-x-6x=0
Subtract 6x from both sides.
5-7x=0
Combine -x and -6x to get -7x.
-7x=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-5}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=\frac{5}{7}
Fraction \frac{-5}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{5}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
