Answer:
-2x^2-3x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference is to subtract the two polynomials.


3x^2-5x+2-(5x^2-2x-6)

You would distribute the subtraction sign to have an equation where you can add and subtract like terms.


3x^2-5x+2-5x^2+2x+6

Now, we combine like terms.


-2x^2-3x+8
