i need help with this problem

[deathdream66]

The problem that i have to complete is:

5=(5x- -2)/3=-5

So far i have worked to this:
I timesed 3 by all sides to get rid of the /3 in the middle, and i also changed the signs to + since there were two - getting:

15=5x+2=-15

then I subtracted 2 to all sides to get rid of the 2 in the middle getting:

13=5x=-17

and now i am stuck.... can some one please help me?

The problem that i have to complete is:

5 = (5x- -2)/3 = -5 ? Do you really believe that 5 equals -5 ?

Will you please post the entire exercise, including all written instructions ?
