84-x-\left(-3\right)-x=x-3
To find the opposite of x-3, find the opposite of each term.
84-x+3-x=x-3
The opposite of -3 is 3.
87-x-x=x-3
Add 84 and 3 to get 87.
87-2x=x-3
Combine -x and -x to get -2x.
87-2x-x=-3
Subtract x from both sides.
87-3x=-3
Combine -2x and -x to get -3x.
-3x=-3-87
Subtract 87 from both sides.
-3x=-90
Subtract 87 from -3 to get -90.
x=\frac{-90}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=30
Divide -90 by -3 to get 30.
