25-\left(2x+3\right)=-5x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
25-2x-3=-5x
To find the opposite of 2x+3, find the opposite of each term.
22-2x=-5x
Subtract 3 from 25 to get 22.
22-2x+5x=0
Add 5x to both sides.
22+3x=0
Combine -2x and 5x to get 3x.
3x=-22
Subtract 22 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-22}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-\frac{22}{3}
Fraction \frac{-22}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{22}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
