Intermediate Numerator in Rational Subtraction

A project manager is analyzing a cost-efficiency formula represented by the expression: m2−6mm2−1−3m+21−m2\frac{m^2-6m}{m^2-1} - \frac{3m+2}{1-m^2}. After correctly identifying the denominators as opposites and establishing a common denominator of m2−1m^2 - 1, the manager performs the subtraction. What is the resulting trinomial expression in the numerator after signs are distributed and like terms are combined, but before any factoring is applied?
