5x-3-\left(-5x\right)=7x
To find the opposite of 3-5x, find the opposite of each term.
5x-3+5x=7x
The opposite of -5x is 5x.
10x-3=7x
Combine 5x and 5x to get 10x.
10x-3-7x=0
Subtract 7x from both sides.
3x-3=0
Combine 10x and -7x to get 3x.
3x=3
Add 3 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{3}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=1
Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.
