Answered by MathMate
Expand (remove parentheses) and collect terms in decreasing powers of a:

(-8a^2+4a+2) = -8a^2+4a+2
-(8a+2) = -8a-2

Since the subtraction is implied in the negation of the secnd expression, you only have to <b>add</b> the two resulting expressions and regroup in decreasing powers of a.
