To subtract (p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p), we can distribute the negative sign to each term inside the second set of parentheses.
(p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p) = p - 3 - 2.4 - 2p
Now, let's combine like terms.
p - 2p - 3 - 2.4 = -p + 3 - 2.4
Next, we can combine the constant terms.
- p + 3 - 2.4 = -p + 0.6
Finally, we can write the expression in the correct format.
The answer is: -p + 0.6
Use the properties of operations to subtract (p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p). (1 point)

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's try again.
To subtract (p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p), we can simplify the expression by removing the parentheses and combining like terms.
First, let's remove the parentheses:
(p - 3) - (2.4 + 2p) = p - 3 - 2.4 - 2p
Next, let's combine like terms:
p - 2.4 - 2p - 3 = (p - 2p) + (-2.4 - 3)
Simplifying further:
-p - 5.4
Therefore, the correct answer is 0 - p - 5.4.
