Taylor writes an expression with 5 terms. All 5 terms are like terms. How many terms are in the equivalent expression with the least number of terms?

Taking into account that they are all like terms they can be combined, therefore there would only be one term. For example: 
5x-3x+6x-x+2x=
Combine the like terms
2x+6x-x+2x=
It can be simplified further
8x-x+2x=
7x+2x=
9x
