Use the properties of equalities to solve the given equation:


(x)/(5)+3=2

First, susbtract 3 from both sides of the equation:


(x)/(5)+3-3=2-3

Simplify the expressions on both sides of the equation:


(x)/(5)=-1

Multiply both sides by 5:


(x)/(5)\cdot5=-1\cdot5

Simplify the expressions on both sides of the equation:


x=-5

Therefore, x=-5
