Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5(x - 1) = x - (2x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis and simplify both sides

x - 5x + 5 = x - 2x + 3

- 4x + 5 = - x + 3 ( add x to both sides )

- 3x + 5 = 3 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 3x = - 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
