use the propertys of operation to subtract (p-3)-(2.4+2p)

1 answer

To subtract (p-3) from (2.4+2p), we need to distribute the negative sign to each term in (p-3) and then combine like terms.

(p-3) - (2.4+2p)

= p + (-3) - 2.4 - 2p

Now, let's group the like terms:

= (p - 2p) + (-3 - 2.4)

= -p - 5.4
