Distribute negative sign: Distribute the negative sign to the second expression.We need to distribute the negative sign across each term in the second expression (−3m2+m+2).(−5m2−8)−(−3m2+m+2)=(−5m2−8)+(3m2−m−2)
Combine like terms: Combine like terms.Now we combine the terms with the same variable powers and the constant terms.(−5m2+3m2)+(−m)+(−8−2)=−2m2−m−10
