To simplify \((p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p)\), we can distribute the subtraction first:

\[
(p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p) = p - 3 - 2.4 - 2p
\]

Now combine like terms. The terms with \(p\) are \(p\) and \(-2p\), and the constant terms are \(-3\) and \(-2.4\):

1. Combine the \(p\) terms:
\[
p - 2p = -p
\]

2. Combine the constant terms:
\[
-3 - 2.4 = -5.4
\]

Putting it all together gives us:
\[
-p - 5.4
\]

So the final answer is:
\[
-p - 5.4
\]

Thus, the correct response among the options is:
**−p−5.4 (negative p minus 5.4)**.
