To add the expressions \((7m + 8) + (-3m - 2)\), we can simplify step by step: 1. Distribute the addition: \[ (7m + 8) + (-3m - 2) = 7m + 8 - 3m - 2 \] 2. Combine like terms for the \(m\) terms: \[ 7m - 3m = 4m \] 3. Combine the constant terms: \[ 8 - 2 = 6 \] Putting it all together, we get: \[ 4m + 6 \] Thus, the result of the addition is: \[ \boxed{4m + 6} \]

To add the expressions \((7m + 8) + (-3m - 2)\), we can simplify step by step:

Distribute the addition: \[ (7m + 8) + (-3m - 2) = 7m + 8 - 3m - 2 \]
Combine like terms for the \(m\) terms: \[ 7m - 3m = 4m \]
Combine the constant terms: \[ 8 - 2 = 6 \]

Putting it all together, we get: \[ 4m + 6 \]

Thus, the result of the addition is: \[ \boxed{4m + 6} \]
