To add the given expressions, combine the like terms. Since all terms are multiples of x, they can be directly added by summing their coefficients:

Given terms: 5x, 7x, -6x

Step 1: Add the coefficients: 5 + 7 - 6 = 6

Step 2: Multiply the result by x: 6x

Final answer: The sum of the given expressions is 6x.
