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

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.
