2x-5x%2B6.3=-14.4
combine like terms on the left side of the equation
-3x+%2B+6.3+=+-14.4
move the 6.3 to the right by subtracting (what you do to the left you do to the right)
-3x+%2B+6.3+-+6.3+=+-14.4+-+6.3
combine terms on the left
-3x+=+-14.4+-+6.3
combine terms on the right
-3x+=+-20.7
You added on the right because they are both negative.
now divide by -3
%28-3x%29%2F%28-3%29+=+%28-20.7%29%2F%28-3%29
x+=+6.9
