3p−5.

Answer 1

To subtract (p−3)−(2.4+2p), we can first distribute the negative sign inside the second set of parentheses:

(p−3)−2.4−2p

Next, we can combine like terms by subtracting p from p:

-p-2p-3-2.4

Finally, we can combine the remaining terms:

-3p-5.4

Therefore, the correct response is:

−3p-5.4
