12p – 6

a)       2(-2 - 4 p) + 2(-2 p - 1)      =  - 12 p- 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

2(-2 - 4p) + 2(-2p - 1)  

Now, by DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A(B-C)  = AB - AC

Solving the given expression , we get

2(-2 - 4p) + 2(-2p - 1)    

= 2(-2)  - 2(4p)  + 2(-2p)  - 2(1)  

= -4 - 8 p - 4 p - 2

= -6 - 12 p

or, 2(-2 - 4p) + 2(-2p - 1)      =  - 12 p- 6

Hence the given expression is equivalent to  (- 12 p- 6).
