Dear student,

The part of the solution that you are talking about does not appear in the image. Still inF_1-m_1a_1=F_{net}, they must mean to writem_1a_1as pseudo force acting on the block. And spring force must be included in the net force. However, it is advisable to post the complete picture again so that we could help you with it.

Regards.
