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