3x-3x-5=2\left(x-2\right)-3
To find the opposite of 3x+5, find the opposite of each term.
-5=2\left(x-2\right)-3
Combine 3x and -3x to get 0.
-5=2x-4-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-2.
-5=2x-7
Subtract 3 from -4 to get -7.
2x-7=-5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=-5+7
Add 7 to both sides.
2x=2
Add -5 and 7 to get 2.
x=\frac{2}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=1
Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.
