To identify the constant in the cubic expression \(-2x + 6x - 3x + 7\), we first simplify the expression by combining like terms.
1. Combine the \(x\)-terms:
\[
-2x + 6x - 3x = (6x - 2x - 3x) = 1x = x
\]
2. The expression simplifies to:
\[
x + 7
\]
In this expression, the constant term is the term without \(x\), which is \(7\).
Therefore, the constant in the expression is \(7\).
