5-3-\left(-x\right)=10-5x
To find the opposite of 3-x, find the opposite of each term.
5-3+x=10-5x
The opposite of -x is x.
2+x=10-5x
Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2.
2+x+5x=10
Add 5x to both sides.
2+6x=10
Combine x and 5x to get 6x.
6x=10-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
6x=8
Subtract 2 from 10 to get 8.
x=\frac{8}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{4}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
