Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine 10x and -5x to get 5x.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(5x+2y-2y+x)$$

Combine 2y and -2y to get 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(5x+x)$$

Combine 5x and x to get 6x.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(6x)$$

The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$6x^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$6x^{0}$$

For any term t except 0, t^{0}=1.

$$6\times 1$$

For any term t, t\times 1=t and 1t=t.

$$6$$
