To evaluate the expression \( np + p \) for \( n = 6 \) and \( p = -2 \), we can substitute the values of \( n \) and \( p \) directly into the expression.
First, substitute \( n \) and \( p \):
\[ np + p = (6)(-2) + (-2) \]
Now calculate \( (6)(-2) \):
\[ (6)(-2) = -12 \]
Next, substitute back into the expression:
\[ -12 + (-2) = -12 - 2 \]
Now perform the addition:
\[ -12 - 2 = -14 \]
Therefore, the final result is:
\[ \boxed{-14} \]
