2x+3-6-\left(-5x\right)=3x-7
To find the opposite of 6-5x, find the opposite of each term.
2x+3-6+5x=3x-7
The opposite of -5x is 5x.
2x-3+5x=3x-7
Subtract 6 from 3 to get -3.
7x-3=3x-7
Combine 2x and 5x to get 7x.
7x-3-3x=-7
Subtract 3x from both sides.
4x-3=-7
Combine 7x and -3x to get 4x.
4x=-7+3
Add 3 to both sides.
4x=-4
Add -7 and 3 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-1
Divide -4 by 4 to get -1.
