If you don't understand partitions perhaps beter to leave them alone？Nothing about managing partitions is without risk！ — , Jun 20 '19 at 18:03
First make sure you have backups. Then start by understanding that you can only expand a partition if there's unallocate space contiguous to its end, reason why you need to move one partition fir that matter. — , Jun 20 '19 at 18:09
Make a backup before doing anything. And do a little search about dealing with partitions (i've just googled a little but you can google more): - https://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted - https://gparted.org/display-doc.php%3Fname%3Dmoving-space-between-partitions — Iogui, Jun 20 '19 at 18:13

Make sure that you have a good backup of your important Ubuntu files, as this procedure can corrupt or loose data.

Keep these things in mind:

always start the entire procedure with issuing a swapoff on any mounted swap partitions, and end the entire procedure with issuing a swapon on that same swap partition
a move is done by pointing the mouse pointer at the center of a partition and dragging it left/right with the hand cursor
a resize is done by dragging the left/right side of a partition to the left/right with the directional arrow cursor
if any partition can't be moved/resized graphically, you may have to manually enter the specific required numeric data (don't do this unless I instruct you to)
you begin any move/resize by right-clicking on the partition in the lower pane of the main window, and selecting the desired action from the popup menu, then finishing that action in the new move/resize window

Do the following...

Note: if the procedure doesn't work exactly as I outline, STOP immediately and DO NOT continue.

boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
start gparted
move sda6 partition all the way to the right
resize the right side of sda9 all the way to the right
click the Apply icon
reboot
