We are given with the expression "6 times the difference of b and p". we need to analyze the terms used to create the equation. The difference of b and p is expressed as b - p. 6 times that difference is represented by the function 6* (b - p)

6(b-p), 6 times signifies multiplication, and difference signifies subtraction between b and p
