Hello there! :)

Answer:

$\boxed{X=1}$

THE ANSWER SHOULD HAVE A POSITIVE SIGN!*

Explanation:

Distributive Property: A(B+C)=AB+AC

You Expand. (Switch Sides)

5-(x+3)

-x+2

4x-3=-x+2

Then, you add by 3 both sides of an equation.

4x-3+3=-x+2+3

Add numbers from left/right.

3+2=5

4x=-x+5

You add by x both sides of an equation.

4x+x=-x+5+x

Simplify.

5x=5

Divide by 5 both sides of an equation.

5x/5=5/5

Divide numbers from left/right.

5/5=1

$\boxed{X=1}\checkmark$ , which is our final answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
