You can add the -5x from the right to the left side of the equation:
The larger number is negative so it will be a negative (1)x:
Next to get x completely by itself, subtract the 3 from the left to the right side:
You cannot leave it in this form, divide by a negative one on both sides to get it positive:
Negative/Negative = Positive
