2x-3-\left(-5x\right)=4\left(x+3\right)
To find the opposite of 3-5x, find the opposite of each term.
2x-3+5x=4\left(x+3\right)
The opposite of -5x is 5x.
7x-3=4\left(x+3\right)
Combine 2x and 5x to get 7x.
7x-3=4x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+3.
7x-3-4x=12
Subtract 4x from both sides.
3x-3=12
Combine 7x and -4x to get 3x.
3x=12+3
Add 3 to both sides.
3x=15
Add 12 and 3 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=5
Divide 15 by 3 to get 5.
