Answer:
The step 4 is not what he should have done. But the wrong is step 5, because if he added -2x both sides, it would give the following equation:

and not 
Note that in step 4 he should have added 2x and not -2x to both sides, but we still have the equality. The problem is that step 5 is totally wrong.
I don't know what answer is expected to this question, but I would mark step 5, because this is mathematically wrong.
Solving the equation

Divide both sides by 5

Answer:
1) James brother is 10-x years old
2) James was 3 years ago x-3 years old
3) James brother was 3 years ago 7-x years old
4) 3(x-3)=7-x
5) James is 4 years old, his brother is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
3) 10 - x - 3 = 7 - x
5) 3* James age 3 years ago = James brothers age 3 years ago
<=> 3*(x-3) = 7-x
<=> 3x - 9 = 7 - x
<=> 4x = 16
<=> x = 4
