x = 3 - -
        5
$$x = - \frac{x}{5} + 3$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x = 3-(x/5)

Expand brackets in the right part
x = 3-x/5

Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{6 x}{5} = 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 6/5
x = 3 / (6/5)

We get the answer: x = 5/2
