\large{\bf Step-by-step~explanation:}

To simplify this expression, we combine all the like terms. We cannot solve for x because there is no equal sign and/or no value for x.

Equation: (10x² - 10x - 6) + (x + 6)


\bf Step~1:

-10x and x are like terms. Remember: there is an invisible 1 behind the variable x. We add these like normal numbers.


\bf -10x+1x=-9x


\bf Step~2:

-6 and 6 are also like terms. Again, we add them as written.


\bf -6+6=0

Since our answer is 0, we do not have to write it in our simplified expression.


\bf Step~3:

Now, let's add the terms together. Since 10x² doesn't have any like terms, we just let it be. We take our previous number, -9x, and we add it to 10x².


\bf 10x^2+-9x


\large\boxed{\bf Our~final~answer:10x^2-9x}
