5\left(x-4x-\left(-5\right)\right)=3-2x
To find the opposite of 4x-5, find the opposite of each term.
5\left(x-4x+5\right)=3-2x
The opposite of -5 is 5.
5\left(-3x+5\right)=3-2x
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-15x+25=3-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by -3x+5.
-15x+25+2x=3
Add 2x to both sides.
-13x+25=3
Combine -15x and 2x to get -13x.
-13x=3-25
Subtract 25 from both sides.
-13x=-22
Subtract 25 from 3 to get -22.
x=\frac{-22}{-13}
Divide both sides by -13.
x=\frac{22}{13}
Fraction \frac{-22}{-13} can be simplified to \frac{22}{13} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
