x = -1. you need to combine like terms, multiply by 1, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation, simplify, and subtract 6x from both sides :)

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect like terms : 3x+5-2x=6x-10

Move the terms: x+5=6x-10

Calculate: x-6x=-10-5

Divide both sides: -5x=-15

X=3
