Answer:

The simplified form of the given expression
$\Rightarrow (5-1)x+3y+6z$ is

Explanation:

Consider the given expression,
5x+3y+(-x)+6z

We have to simplify the expression,

We can apply

ax-bx=(a-b)x , also,

+(-bx)=-bx

Thus, applying the above facts, the given expression becomes,

$\Rightarrow 5x+3y-x+6z$

$\Rightarrow (5-1)x+3y+6z$

$\Rightarrow 4x+3y+6z$

Thus, the simplified form of the given expression
$\Rightarrow (5-1)x+3y+6z$ is
using the two facts stated above.
