To clarify the operation, we start with the expression \(2(p + 8)\).
1. Distribute the \(2\) to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[
2(p + 8) = 2p + 2 \cdot 8
\]
2. Calculate \(2 \cdot 8\):
\[
2 \cdot 8 = 16
\]
3. So we can replace \(2 \cdot 8\) with \(16\) in the expression:
\[
2(p + 8) = 2p + 16
\]
Putting it all together, we have:
\[
2(p + 8) = 2p + 16
\]
Thus, the final expression is:
\[
2p + 16
\]
