3x+5-5x=0
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-2x+5=0
Combine 3x and -5x to get -2x.
-2x=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{5}{2}
Fraction \frac{-5}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{5}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
