See a solution process below:

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

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

Now, combine like terms:

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

$- x^{3} + 3 x + 6$ $-x^3 + 3x + 6$

Or, if necessary:

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