See a solution process below:

First, group the common terms ordering each term from largest exponent to smallest:

$-x^3 + 5x - 2x + 6$

Now, combine like terms:

$-x^3 + (5 - 2)x + 6$

$-x^3 + 3x + 6$

Or, if necessary:

$-x^3 + 0x^2 + 3x + 6$

How do you write -2x+6-x^3+5x-2x+6-x^3+5x in standard form?
