5x-x^{2}+3=x^{2}-x-\left(1+2x^{2}\right)
Combine x and 4x to get 5x.
5x-x^{2}+3=x^{2}-x-1-2x^{2}
To find the opposite of 1+2x^{2}, find the opposite of each term.
5x-x^{2}+3=-x^{2}-x-1
Combine x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get -x^{2}.
5x-x^{2}+3+x^{2}=-x-1
Add x^{2} to both sides.
5x+3=-x-1
Combine -x^{2} and x^{2} to get 0.
5x+3+x=-1
Add x to both sides.
6x+3=-1
Combine 5x and x to get 6x.
6x=-1-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
6x=-4
Subtract 3 from -1 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=-\frac{2}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-4}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
