When you re-arrange the terms, keep in mind that the +/-/×/÷ in front will always stick with the term.
After re-arranging the terms, add or subtract the whole number terms together and the x terms together.

Actually, you missed his point.

From my observations, the student lacks the understanding on the section “-6x + 9x”. His re-arrangement of terms appears ok.

Thanks for pointing that out. Your explanation is much better.
