To simplify the expression \((x^5 + x^3) - (6x - x^3 + 6x^5)\), let's first distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the parentheses:

\[
(x^5 + x^3) - (6x - x^3 + 6x^5) = x^5 + x^3 - 6x + x^3 - 6x^5
\]

Now, combine like terms:

1. Combine the \(x^5\) terms: \(x^5 - 6x^5 = -5x^5\)
2. Combine the \(x^3\) terms: \(x^3 + x^3 = 2x^3\)
3. The \(6x\) term remains as \(-6x\).

Putting it all together, we have:

\[
-5x^5 + 2x^3 - 6x
\]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[
-5x^5 + 2x^3 - 6x
\]
