First we have to solve the substraction on the right side of the equation:
[tex]3-2x=-5[/tex]Now we add 2x on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3-2x+2x=-5+2x \\ 3=-5+2x \end{gathered}[/tex]Now add 5 on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3+5=-5+5+2x \\ 8=2x \end{gathered}[/tex]And divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{2}=\frac{2x}{2} \\ 4=x \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of x that makes the equation true is 4
