5x-3=-6-2x+17
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3+x.
5x-3=11-2x
Add -6 and 17 to get 11.
5x-3+2x=11
Add 2x to both sides.
7x-3=11
Combine 5x and 2x to get 7x.
7x=11+3
Add 3 to both sides.
7x=14
Add 11 and 3 to get 14.
x=\frac{14}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=2
Divide 14 by 7 to get 2.
