Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{ - 5 {x}^(5) + 2 {x}^(3) - 6x}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{( {x}^(5) + {x}^(3) ) - (6x - {x}^(3) + 6 {x}^(5)) }

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses , change the sign of each term.

Also, remove the parentheses


\sf{ {x}^(5) + {x}^(3) - 6x + {x}^(3) - 6 {x}^(5) }

Collect like terms


\sf{ {x}^(5) - 6 {x}^(5) + {x}^(3) + {x}^(3) - 6x}


\sf{ - 5 {x}^(5) + 2 {x}^(3) - 6x}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
