Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms (all terms have \( m \))

We add the coefficients of \( m \): \( -8 + (-3) + 2 + (-5) - 2 - 1 \)

Step2: Calculate the sum of coefficients

First, \( -8 + (-3) = -11 \); then \( -11 + 2 = -9 \); then \( -9 + (-5) = -14 \); then \( -14 - 2 = -16 \); then \( -16 - 1 = -17 \)
So the simplified expression is \( -17m \)

Answer:

\( -17m \)
