Answer:


\boxed {x = 0}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
x:


3 = x + 3 - 5x

-Com bine like terms:


3 = x + 3 - 5x


3 = -4x + 3

-Switch the equation around:


3 = -4x + 3


-4x + 3 = 3

-Subtract 3 on both sides:


-4x + 3 - 3 = 3 - 3


-4x = 0

-When you are dividing
0 by a positive or negative integer, it would obviously be
0:


\boxed {x = 0}

Therefore, the value of
x is
0.
