-5x+3=-x_{2}
Subtract x_{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5x=-x_{2}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-x_{2}-3}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{-x_{2}-3}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{x_{2}+3}{5}
Divide -x_{2}-3 by -5.
x_{2}+3=5x
Add 5x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x_{2}=5x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
