-14x-5=\left(-\left(-3\right)\right)x+5
Combine x and -15x to get -14x.
-14x-5=3x+5
The opposite of -3 is 3.
-14x-5-3x=5
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-17x-5=5
Combine -14x and -3x to get -17x.
-17x=5+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-17x=10
Add 5 and 5 to get 10.
x=\frac{10}{-17}
Divide both sides by -17.
x=-\frac{10}{17}
Fraction \frac{10}{-17} can be rewritten as -\frac{10}{17} by extracting the negative sign.
