Use the properties of operations to subtract (p − 3) − (2.4 + 2p). (1 point)

−p − 5.4
−p + 5.4
3p − 5.4
p − 5.4

(p − 3) − (2.4 + 2p) can be simplified as follows:

p - 3 - 2.4 - 2p

Combining like terms, we have:

p - 2p - 3 - 2.4

Simplifying further:

- p - 5.4

Therefore, the answer is -p - 5.4.
