x-\left(-2-\left(x-1-x-2\right)\right)=5
To find the opposite of x+2, find the opposite of each term.
x-\left(-2-\left(-1-2\right)\right)=5
Combine x and -x to get 0.
x-\left(-2-\left(-3\right)\right)=5
Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3.
x-\left(-2+3\right)=5
The opposite of -3 is 3.
x-1=5
Add -2 and 3 to get 1.
x=5+1
Add 1 to both sides.
x=6
Add 5 and 1 to get 6.
