To subtract the given expressions, we need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8c and 6c is 24c.

Therefore, the expression becomes:

(3c-2) * (6c/6c) - (5c-2) * (8c/8c)

After simplifying, we get:

(18c^2 - 12c) - (40c^2 - 16c)

Combine like terms:

18c^2 - 12c - 40c^2 + 16c

-22c^2 + 4c

Simplify:

2c * (-11c + 2)
