use the properties of operations to subract (p-3)-(2.4+2p)
To subtract (p-3)-(2.4+2p), we can simplify it step by step using the properties of operations.
First, distribute the negation (-1) to the terms inside the second parentheses:
(p - 3) - 2.4 - 2p
Next, combine like terms:
p - 2p - 3 - 2.4
Combine -2p and p:
-p - 3 - 2.4
Finally, combine -3 and -2.4:
-5.4 - p
Therefore, (p-3)-(2.4+2p) simplifies to -5.4 - p.
