x-5-\left(-3x\right)=6x-3
To find the opposite of 5-3x, find the opposite of each term.
x-5+3x=6x-3
The opposite of -3x is 3x.
4x-5=6x-3
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
4x-5-6x=-3
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-2x-5=-3
Combine 4x and -6x to get -2x.
-2x=-3+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-2x=2
Add -3 and 5 to get 2.
x=\frac{2}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=-1
Divide 2 by -2 to get -1.
