4x-\left(-3\right)-\left(-5x\right)=x-\left(15+x\right)
To find the opposite of -3-5x, find the opposite of each term.
4x+3-\left(-5x\right)=x-\left(15+x\right)
The opposite of -3 is 3.
4x+3+5x=x-\left(15+x\right)
The opposite of -5x is 5x.
9x+3=x-\left(15+x\right)
Combine 4x and 5x to get 9x.
9x+3=x-15-x
To find the opposite of 15+x, find the opposite of each term.
9x+3=-15
Combine x and -x to get 0.
9x=-15-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
9x=-18
Subtract 3 from -15 to get -18.
x=\frac{-18}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=-2
Divide -18 by 9 to get -2.
