    4x - 3y + 6z.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    He wrote 62 instead of 6z on the first line.

    He made 2 mistakes on the last line:

    He didn't subtract the x terms, there was no term = 5.

    The - 3y + 6z does not simplify to 3yz, the terms have an add process not a multiply.

    The correct solution is

    5x - x - 3y + 6z

    = 4x - 3y + 6z.
