Let's perform the operation as outlined in your request:

Given operation:

\[ (-8x^2 - 5x + 8) - (-6x^2 + 3x - 3) \]

Step 1: Rewrite the expression:

Distribute the negative sign:

\[ -8x^2 - 5x + 8 + 6x^2 - 3x + 3 \]

Step 2: Combine like terms:

  1. Combine the \(x^2\) terms: \[ -8x^2 + 6x^2 = -2x^2 \]

  2. Combine the \(x\) terms: \[ -5x - 3x = -8x \]

  3. Combine the constant terms: \[ 8 + 3 = 11 \]

Final result:

Putting it all together, we combine the like terms:

\[ -2x^2 - 8x + 11 \]

Thus, the final simplified expression is:

\[ -2x^2 - 8x + 11 \]
