y-3=-x-5
To find the opposite of x+5, find the opposite of each term.
-x-5=y-3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x=y-3+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-x=y+2
Add -3 and 5 to get 2.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{y+2}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{y+2}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-\left(y+2\right)
Divide y+2 by -1.
y-3=-x-5
To find the opposite of x+5, find the opposite of each term.
y=-x-5+3
