Let's simplify the expression step by step:

Given expression:

\[
(8x^2 - 7x + 3) - (3x - 9) + (-5x^2 + 2x)
\]

1. Distribute the negative sign in the second term:

\[
(8x^2 - 7x + 3) - 3x + 9 + (-5x^2 + 2x)
\]

2. Combine the constant terms and like terms. Start with the \(x^2\) terms:

\[
8x^2 - 5x^2 = 3x^2
\]

Next, combine the \(x\) terms:

\[
-7x - 3x + 2x = -8x
\]

And finally, combine the constant terms:

\[
3 + 9 = 12
\]

3. Putting it all together, you get:

\[
3x^2 - 8x + 12
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{3x^2 - 8x + 12}
\]
