Solution: 8p+44

Detailed explanation:

First we can "expand" by multiplying 6 times the parentheses and then 2 times the other set of parentheses.


--\mapsto\boldsymbol{6(p+6)+2(p+4)}\\\\---\mapsto\boldsymbol{6p+36+2p+8}

To make life easier let's just put the p's next to each other.


--\mapsto\boldsymbol{6p+2p+36+8}

Now let's add the p's


---\mapsto\boldsymbol{8p+44}

Voila! There's our answer!

Cheers! ^-^
