To subtract the polynomials, we need to distribute the negative sign to every term within the parentheses of the second polynomial.
So, (-5m^2-8) -(-3m^2+m+2) can be written as:
-5m^2 - 8 + 3m^2 - m - 2
Combining like terms, we have:
(-5m^2 + 3m^2) + (-8 - 2) + (-m)
-2m^2 - 10 - m
Therefore, the final answer is -2m^2 - m - 10.
So, (-5m^2-8) -(-3m^2+m+2) can be written as:
-5m^2 - 8 + 3m^2 - m - 2
Combining like terms, we have:
(-5m^2 + 3m^2) + (-8 - 2) + (-m)
-2m^2 - 10 - m
Therefore, the final answer is -2m^2 - m - 10.
