* parenthesis tell you to multiply whatever is outside them by whatever is inside them, so let’s do that!
All we need is a calculator !!

1. 0.3(p) - 0.3(3)
0.3p - 0.9

2. 1.2(0.3x) - 1.2(1.4)
0.36x - 1.68

3. -3(2x) - 3(5)
-6x - 15

4. -7(2k) - 7(-h)
-14k + 7h

5. -1/2(6x) - 1/2( -1/3)
-3x + 1/6

6. -3(0.2m) - 3(5)
-0.6m - 15

7. -0.6(0.4y) - 0.6(-1)
-.24y + 0.6

* remember that when you multiply to negatives, it equals a positive!!

Hope I helped :)
