1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $ (3+2i) - (8-5i) $.
2. **Recall the rule for subtraction of complex numbers:**
$ (a+bi) - (c+di) = (a-c) + (b-d)i $
3. **Apply the rule:**
$$ (3+2i) - (8-5i) = (3-8) + (2 - (-5))i $$
4. **Simplify the real and imaginary parts:**
$$ = -5 + (2 + 5)i $$
5. **Final simplified form:**
$$ = -5 + 7i $$
So, the answer is $-5 + 7i$.
