6x-3=x-\left(2x+5\right)
Combine 5x and x to get 6x.
6x-3=x-2x-5
To find the opposite of 2x+5, find the opposite of each term.
6x-3=-x-5
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
6x-3+x=-5
Add x to both sides.
7x-3=-5
Combine 6x and x to get 7x.
7x=-5+3
Add 3 to both sides.
7x=-2
Add -5 and 3 to get -2.
x=\frac{-2}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=-\frac{2}{7}
Fraction \frac{-2}{7} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{7} by extracting the negative sign.
