5x+2=3x-20-1x
add like terms
5x+2=(3-1)x-20
5x+2=2x-20
subtract 2x from both sdies
5x-2x+2=2x-2x-20
3x+2=0-20
subtract 2 from both sides
3x+2-2=-20-2
3x=-22
divide both sides by 3
x=-22/3 or -7 and 1/3

Answer:

-  \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The only thing important in this question in the original equation is the slope, which is 3, the multiplyer for x. To find the opposite slope follow the steps below.

The first step is to make the original slope into a fraction.

\frac{3}{1}

Then flip the numerator and denominator.

\frac{1}{3}

Now multiply this value by -1.

\frac{1}{3}  \times ( - 1) =  -  \frac{1}{3}

There is the opposite slope of 3.
