Answer:

-20p - 3.8

Explanation:

Sure!

1.) Since you have a number outside of a parenthesis, you can distribute it to the parenthesis by multiplying it to each term in the parenthesis. You would get .2 +(-4)*5p + (-4) * 1.

2.) Now, by multiplying these together, you would get .2-20p-4.

3.) Finally, since you can further simplify by adding together like terms. .2 and -4 are both constants (numbers), so you can add them together.

4.) .2 + (-4) is equal to -3.8, so your final expression is -20p - 3.8.
