The subtractiion we are asked to carry out is


(-10m^2-11mw-7w^2)-(-4m^2+5mw-12w^2)

In subtracting the expression given we first get rid of the parenthesis by writing out the subtraction as


-10m^2-11mw-7w^2+4m^2-5mw+12w^2

now we combine the like terms to get


(-10m^2+4m^2)+(-11mw-5mw\text{)}+(-7w^2+12w^2)

simplifying the above gives


-6m^2-16mw+5w^2

which is our answer!
