1 answer

To simplify the expression (p-3)-(2.4+2p), we can first distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses:

(p-3)-2.4-2p

Next, we can combine like terms:

p-2p-3-2.4

Simplifying further:

-p-2.4-3

Lastly, combining like terms:

-p-5.4

The simplified expression is -p-5.4.
