To subtract (p−3)−(2.4+2p), we can use the distributive property and the property of combining like terms.
First, distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:
(p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p) = p - 3 - 2.4 - 2p.
Next, combine like terms by combining the p terms and the constant terms separately:
(p - 2p) + (-3 - 2.4) = -p - 5.4.
Therefore, (p−3)−(2.4+2p) simplifies to -p - 5.4.
Use the properties of operations to subtract (p−3)−(2.4+2p).(1 point)
