Use the properties of operation to subtract. (P-3)-(2.4+2p)
To subtract (P-3) - (2.4 + 2P), we can use the distributive property of subtraction. The distributive property states that a subtraction can be rewritten as an addition of the opposite value.
So, we can rewrite the expression as:
(P - 3) + (-1)(2.4 + 2P)
Now, we can simplify the expression:
P - 3 - 2.4 - 2P
Combining like terms:
(P - 2P) - (3 + 2.4)
Simplifying further:
-P - 5.4
