5\left(5x+3-5x-3\right)=5x-1
To find the opposite of 5x+3, find the opposite of each term.
5\left(3-3\right)=5x-1
Combine 5x and -5x to get 0.
5\times 0=5x-1
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
0=5x-1
Multiply 5 and 0 to get 0.
5x-1=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x=1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{1}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
