Here are the solutions for the subtraction problems:

:

\begin{align*} & \quad 8 \text{ m } 76 \text{ cm} \\ &- \quad 4 \text{ m } 23 \text{ cm} \\ \hline \end{align*}

Subtract the centimeters.
$76 \text{ cm} - 23 \text{ cm} = 53 \text{ cm}$
Subtract the meters.
$8 \text{ m} - 4 \text{ m} = 4 \text{ m}$
The result for the first problem is:
$\boxed{\text{4 m 53 cm}}$
:
$\begin{align*} & \quad 32 \text{ m } 50 \text{ cm} \\ &- \quad 25 \text{ m } 14 \text{ cm} \\ \hline \end{align*}$
Subtract the centimeters.
$50 \text{ cm} - 14 \text{ cm} = 36 \text{ cm}$
Subtract the meters.
$32 \text{ m} - 25 \text{ m} = 7 \text{ m}$
The result for the second problem is:
$\boxed{\text{7 m 36 cm}}$
